[Verse 1]
The guys are gonna wander
Go out and play sometimes
But girls you must not let it get you down
Just take this advice I give you just like a mother
You try to match your guys two for two
Don't try to do the things that the guys do, no no

[Chorus]
'Cause girls you can't do what the guys do, no
And still be a lady
Girls, you can't do what the guys do, no
And still be a lady, no
No, oh

[Verse 2]
And listen, girls, when you give your heart away
You can easily be hurt
And the least little wrong he does
Always seems like dirt
So take this advice I give you just like a mother
You try to match your man two for two
Don't try to do the things the guys do, no no

[Chorus]
'Cause girls, you can't do what the guys do, no
And still be a lady
Girls, you can't do what the guys do, no
And still be a lady, no, oh oh
[Bridge]
When you put your faith in one guy
Sometimes he'll make you happy
Sometimes he'll make you cry
But don't lose your self-respect
Trying to get revenge
'Cause no matter how you do it
Don't try to do the things the guys do, no no
You'll lose it in the end

[Chorus]
'Cause girls, you can't do what the guys do, no
And still be a lady
Girls, you can't do what the guys do, no
And still be a lady, no
