LIKE A WOMAN
(Frank Loesser)

as recorded by Rosemary Clooney
with Perez Prado & his Orchestra
1959


Like a woman loves a man,
That's how I love you!
Like a woman needs a man,
Darling I need you!

I'm no baby, I know what I want;
I want holding you very close to me,
Just as close to me as I possibly can,
Not like a child, but like a woman holds a man!
That's how I'll hold you,
Wouldn't blame you if you ran!

Now that I've told you,
I'm no baby, I know what I know,
And I know it's my plan
Just to love you like a woman loves a wonderful man!

I'm no baby, I know what I want;
I want holding you very close to me,
Just as close to me as I possibly can,
Not like a child, but like a woman holds a man!
That's how I'll hold you,
Wouldn't blame you if you ran!

Now that I've told you,
I'm no baby, I know what I know,
And I know it's my plan
Just to love you like a woman loves a wonderful man!
