VERSE

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 a pass.

REFRAIN

Femininity, femininity,
I guess I'm over-blessed with femininity.
I want a 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 thing they want, that's understood,
I tell them I shouldn't, they tell me I should.
There must be other ways to make a man feel good.
All I do is simply stand there,
All at once I feel a hand there,
Begging for my femininity.
Femininity, my 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,
It 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?
