THAT'S WHEN MY WOMAN BEGINS
(Jerry Gillespie)


Tommy Overstreet - 1975




Little Bo Peep with a broom and a mop
A bulge in her cheek from a tootsie roll pop
Now who would believe that little girl is my wife


She looks like a child but she's already grown
With everyday problems and kids of her own
And she is the main foundation of my life


Oh, ain't she a picture of sunshine
Fresh as the breeze in the air
Right from her little girl dimples 
To the ribbons of pink in her hair


But nighttime will find her a lady 
And when that lady comes to me again
Well that's when my little girl pauses 
And that's when my woman begins


She still throws a tantrum whenever she's mad
Cries at the movies whenever they're sad
And she pouts like a child when she doesn't get her way


But I wouldn't change anything for the world
I've spoiled her I know, but she's my little girl
And she makes everything alright at the end of the day


Now ain't she a picture of sunshine
Fresh as the breeze in the air
Right from her little girl dimples 
To the ribbons of pink in her hair


But nighttime will find her a lady 
And when that lady comes to me again
Well that's when my little girl pauses 
And that's when my woman begins


Yeah ain't she a picture of sunshine
Fresh as the breeze in the air
Right from her little girl dimples 
To the ribbons of pink in her hair


But nighttime will find her a lady 
And when that lady comes to me again
Well that's when my little girl pauses 
And that's when my woman begins
