Lyrics V1I'm a woman with simple tastesWhen it comes to love affairsI still wanna be chasedAnd have a man who caresAbout my needs as a womanV2I don't want a man who's too old schoolThat he can't show me a good timeI don't want some fancy talking fool Or just another speechless mimeWho doesn't get me as a womanChorusTimes have changed and I speak my mindI know what I want and I say itI'm a hard loving woman, who knows menNo need to be too refinedYou know a good man can be hard to findHe might not be that perfect fitI don't use that scale of one to tenTo measure if he's worth my timeLooks are nice but don't buy my loveI just want a man who's there for meI'm always a womanNot always a ladyV3He's gotta understand my womanly needsAnd not just pleasure himselfSelfish men are a common breedI'd be better off with someone elseBridgeA good lookin' man would be fineBut, he's gotta be into meI'm always a womanNot always a ladyChorusTimes have changed and I speak my mindI know what I want and I say itI'm a hard loving woman, who knows menNo need to be too refinedYou know a good man can be hard to findHe might not be a perfect fitI don't use that scale of one to tenTo measure if he's worth my timeLooks are nice but don't buy my loveI just want a man who's there for meI'm always a womanNot always a lady
