I Like a Woman

Hank Locklin · The Mayor of McLellan Florida [1972]

(Hank Locklin)



It's a nature of a man to love a woman all he can

And the good woman's love is mighty hard to find

And the mist'ry of it all that a young man starts to fall

He needs a woman to satisfy his mind.



I like a woman with a whole lot of class

I don't like the one that'll give me any sense

I like a woman that can turn me on

Makin' two steps down and gonna leave his throne.



I like a woman the cuddlein' kind

I like a woman who can work my mind.



--- Instrumental ---



I'm my mama's baby boy and my daddy's pride and joy

And my mama says I'm more like my daddy's kind

A lotta people like to sit and dream but I like to do my thing

I like a woman around me all the time.



I like a woman who can tame down the draggin'

I don't want the one that's always a naggin'

I like a woman let it to explode

Makin' old freight train wanna take a dirt road.



I like a woman like a woman oughta be

I like a woman's company

(Yeah honey this is ole Hank talkin' to you now

And I like a woman all woman, yeah.



Mhm, baby I can see you're a woman

That's why I like you 'cause I like a woman...)
