I've been a happy creature, bold and never shy
Until I met this handsome guy
He seemed to me as gorgeous as a rock-n-roll king
And I got stunned, couldn't speak out a thing
Oh, I wish I had a power to make him look my way
To come up close, to make him stay
But I couldn't find my tongue, man it's not fair!
And I just left thinking in despair

Oh, what am I to do, now
Being just a human woman
What am I to do, now
Being just a human woman
When I get the blues
I go and buy me some pretty shoes

So, the shoes were bought but it didn't change a thing
Night and day, day and night I was thinking of him
When finally feeling I can take it no more
I came to the joint where I saw him before
I stopped by the bar, took me a brandy
The couples were dancing, alone I was standing
Thinking of how he used to swing and sway
When suddenly I saw him coming right my way

Oh, what am I to do, now
Being just a human woman
What am I to do, now
Being just a human woman
When he asked me for a dance
I almost fainted, but managed a "yes"

And so we danced, and the music was hot and loud
We jumped and jived util the lights went out
And he saw me home and asked me out next night
And everything at once became just right

And ain't nothing I couldn't do now
Being just a human woman
Nothing I couldn't do now
Being just a human woman
When he needs someone to hold him tight
When he needs someone to kiss him good night
When he needs someone to make his day bright
You know, know I'll always be there by his side!
