Lyrics
Why can't I be the girl that I want to be?
Why can't I be the girl that I'm not?
Why do men always look as they look when they look at me?
I must have something, but what have I got?
I say I'd like to join the married class
The man says, "Yes, my dear"
Then makes another pass
Femininity
Femininity
I guess I'm overblessed with femininity
I want the family life, woman's career
But all that I get is a pinch on the rear
Femininity
My femininity
Just seems to bring out basic masculinity
There's only one thing they want, that's understood
I tell thеm I shouldn't
They tell me I should
Thеre must be other ways to make a man feel good
All I do is simply stand there
All at one side, feel a hand there
Begging for my femininity
Femininity
Femininity
Just seems to bring a crowd to my vicinity
Other girls have the same, these, them and those
But they always manage to stay in their clothes
Personality
My personality
Just makes them all expect my hospitality
When a man brings me home, I ask him in
I only intend to have one little gin
Why do I always end up on the tiger skin?
There are times I can't help feeling
As I'm staring at the ceiling
What's the point of femininity?
Writer(s): Raymond B. Evans, Jay Livingston
