Whatever you want, Whatever you need, Anything you want done, baby, I'll do it naturally Cause I'm every woman It's all in me. It's all in me, yeah! I'm every woman, It's all in me. Anything you want done, baby, I'll do it naturally. I'm every woman, It's all in me. I can read your thoughts right now, Every one from A to Z. I can cast a spell, Of secrets you can tell, Mix a special brew, Put fire inside of you. Anytime you feel danger or fear, Then instantly I will appear 'cause... I'm every woman, It's all in me. Anything you want done, baby, I'll do it naturally. I can sense your needs Like rain unto the seeds. I can make a rhyme Of confusion in your mind. And when it comes back to some good old-fashioned love, I've got it, I've got it, I've got it, got it, baby, 'cause... I'm every woman, It's all in me. Anything you want done, baby, I'll do it naturally. I'm every woman, It's all in me. I can read your thoughts right now, Every one from A to Z. I ain't braggin' 'cause I am the one You just ask me, oo, it shall be done. And don't bother to compare, I've got it. I'm every woman...
