WOMAN LIKES TO BE TOLD, A
(Hoagy Carmichael (m) Harold Adamson (l) )

as recorded by Kay Starr
with Frank De Vol & his Orchestra
March 31st 1950


It's been said that a woman is cold,
A woman's love can't be bought or sold!

A woman likes to be told
That her hair is finest gold;
She may know that you're her feller,
But it's better when you tell 'er,
A woman likes to be told!

A woman's funny that way,
Clings to every word you say;
If it's somethin' sweet and gentle,
She'll grow soft and sentimental,
And kiss your worries away.

So if you think her smile is warm as Summer,
Don't you ever keep it from her,
For many a heart has been broken
For the want of a word unspoken!

A woman likes to be told
That she never will grow old,
And the more you say you love 'er,
More and more you will discover
A woman likes to be told!

So if you think her smile is warm as Summer,
Why would you ever wanna keep it from her?
For many a heart has been broken
For the want of a word unspoken!

A woman likes to be told
That she never will grow old,
And the more you say you love 'er,
More and more you will discover
A woman likes to be told,
Yes, a woman likes to be told!
