Woman tell me, where did you learn
To handle a man with so much ease
When all of his life
He's used to doin' as he pleased, yeah
You got me doing all the good things
That a man's supposed to do
I know a lot of men who wish they had
A sweet little woman like you
'Cause your kind is so hard to find

Woman tell me, where did you learn
To make a man feel like a king
When all the time he knows
That he hasn't got a thing, yeah
Stand by my side and there is 
No limit to what I can do
I know some men who'd give their right arm
To have a sweet little woman like you
Because your kind is so hard to find
Your kind is so hard to find
A sweet woman like you is hard to find
A sweet woman is hard to find
And that's why I'm so glad I got mine

Woman tell me, what do I have to do
To make you really see
Just how much I really love you
And how much you mean to me, yeah
Don't be afraid to tell me baby
'Cause there's nothin' that I wouldn't do
I know a lot of men that wish they had
A sweet little woman like you
'Cause your kind is so hard to find
A sweet woman like you is hard to find
A sweet woman like you is hard to find
A sweet woman like you is so hard to find
A sweet woman like you is hard to find
A sweet woman like you is so hard to find
