Lyrics
I’m strong, I’m sure
I’m in control, a lady with a plan
Believing that life is a neat little package
I hold in my hand
I’ve got it together, they call me the girl
Who knows just what to say and do
Still, I fumble and fall, run into the wall
‘Cause when it comes to you
I’m just another woman in love
A kid out of school
A fire out of control, just another fool
You touch me, and I’m weak, I’m a feather in the wind
And I can’t wait to feel you touching me again
With you, I’m just another woman
Just another woman in love
So pardon me if I should stare and tremble like a child
That wanting me look all over your face is driving me wild
I’m just what you make me
Can’t wait ’til you take me, and set all my feelings free
I know that you can, so come be my man
Tonight, I wanna be
Just another woman in love
A kid out of school
A fire out of control, just another fool
You touch me, and I’m weak, I’m a feather in the wind
And I can’t wait to feel you touching me again
With you, I’m just another woman
Just another woman in love
Just another woman in love
A kid out of school
A fire out of control
Just another fool
You touch me, and I’m weak, I’m a feather in the wind
And I can’t wait to feel you touching me again
With you, I’m just another woman
Just another woman in love
