A Liberated Woman

She was at the height of the women's liberation dear
But not the kind that you might think about
She was never scared at what women too often fear
Said yes when a man would ask her out

Never took full advantage of her attitude
Her smile was always genuine 
Left alone the expensive grub on the menu
Always lived and loved the best in life

She was liberated of all the cares
That seem to drag most women off
Take all the time you want to stop and stare
She didn't care what other people thought

Never really worried about her weight
Or the style of clothes that she had on
Knew that really wasn't how she was made
No that wasn't how she was made at all

Sugar and spice and all that's nice was fine by her
With a touch of sour if you rubbed her wrong
Though on a dime she could turn with a kind word
For a poor soul who didn't play along

She was liberated of all the cares
That seem to drag most women off
Knew that attitude would get her nowhere
So she didn't care what other people thought
