ORIGINAL SONGTEXTE
Well, he said hold on Patricia
I only tried to kiss ya
She said okay and then said don't you dare
She seems so badly shakin'
He thought he was mistaken
But it sure looked like she bowed her head in prayer
I am a Christian Lord, but I'm a woman too
If you are listenin' Lord, please show me what to do
I've tried hard to be what mama says is good
As I step into my womanhood
Shortly after midnight
She turned off the porch light
Walked into her bedroom all alone
She sat down and said well, Lord
God, I've been through hell, Lord
Wonderin' if I did right or wrong
I am a Christian Lord, but I'm a woman to
If you are listenin' Lord, please show me what to do
I've tried hard to be what mama says is good
As I step into my womanhood
One more time
You heard, yes I am a Christian Lord, but I'm a woman too
If you are listenin' Lord, please show me what to do
I've tried hard to be what mama says is good
As I step into my womanhood
Slowly slip into my womanhood
Slowly slip into my womanhood...
ÜBERSETZUNG
Nun, er sagte: "Halt dich an Patricia
Ich habe nur versucht, dich zu küssen.
Sie sagte: "Okay" und dann: "Wage es ja nicht!
Sie schien so sehr zu zittern.
Er dachte, er hätte sich geirrt.
Aber es sah aus, als hätte sie ihren Kopf zum Gebet gesenkt.
Ich bin ein Christ, Herr, aber ich bin auch eine Frau.
Wenn du zuhörst, Herr, bitte zeig mir, was ich tun soll.
I've tried hard to be what mama says is good
As I step into my womanhood
Kurz nach Mitternacht
~ She turned off the porch light ~
Ging ganz allein in ihr Schlafzimmer
~ She sat down and said well, Lord ~
~ God, I've been through hell, Lord ~
~ Wonderin' if I did right or wrong ~
I am a Christian Lord, but I'm a woman to
Wenn du zuhörst, Herr, bitte zeig mir, was ich tun soll.
I've tried hard to be what mama says is good
As I step into my womanhood
One more time
Du hast gehört, ja ich bin ein Christ, Herr, aber ich bin auch eine Frau
Wenn du zuhörst, Herr, bitte zeig mir, was ich tun soll
I've tried hard to be what mama says is good
As I step into my womanhood
Langsam schlüpfe ich in mein Frausein
Slowly slip into my womanhood...
