My Kind of Woman

I was feeling bad
Kinda sad
And I did not know the cause or the reason
Then you came
Walking by
And you took away that sad and lonesome feeling

All the girls they look from you
And girl you made me smile
Would you come closer to me
Let me talk to you a while

'Cause baby you're my kind of woman
Woman

You were stepping high
Looking fine
Taking time to be a natural woman
When I looked at you
That was when I knew
You were just the kind of girl
That I've been wantin'

You are such a lovely thing
I love to look at you
Come over here and talk to me
Let me get to know you

'Cause baby you're my kind of woman
Woman

I know there're lots of other guys
Tryin' to get to you
But baby they can't love you good as I can
No no no
They know what you want
But I know what you need
Come over here to me and you will understand
Oh baby!

You are such a lovely thing
I love to look at you
Come over here and talk to me
Let me get to know you

'Cause baby you're my kind of woman
Yeah yeah yeah, you're my kind of woman
