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
