No Strings - How Sad to Be a Woman Lyrics

1962 Broadway
No Strings the Musical - How Sad to Be a Woman Lyrics


The song is written by Richard Rodgers.

What are the poor girls getting?
To whom do they raise a voice?
What are the poor girls netting?
They just have Hobson's choice.
They crane their delicate necks,
But there's just one opposite sex.

How sad to be a woman.
Women are stuck with men.
A lady's life must be dreary.
Without a lady to call dearie.
A woman's cheek is for caressing.
A man's? His trouble,
It's mostly stubble.

It's sad and so depressing.
Ladies, I ask again?
How can a woman
Be like a woman?
What do they see in men?

A woman's hand is tiny,
A man has just a paw.
A woman's mouth is soft and sweet.
A man has just a jaw.

Beneath her chin lies heaven,
While under his is hair.
In fact, she's entirely heaven.
It's blissful to be there.

How can they make such a fuss?
Over ugly, simple, predatory bums like us!

How sad to be a woman.
Women are stuck with men.
A lady's life must be dreary.
Without a lady to call dearie.
A woman's cheek is for caressing.
A man's? His trouble,
It's mostly stubble.

It's sad. It's so depressing.
Ladies, I ask again?
How can a woman
Be like a woman?
What do they see in men?
