Lyrics
and the braces disappear
that s round instead of flat
Wide with braces from ear to ear, and stay out after ten, how lovely to wear mascara
How lovely to be so grown-up and free, you doubt that you will ever be appealing Fabares, and stay out after ten
how lovely to have a figure
And change from boys to men, how lovely to be a woman
And stay out after ten, how lovely to be a woman
it s wonderful to feel
How marvelous to wait for a date, the way a woman feels
and you have that happy grown-up female feeling
That s round instead of flat, wide with braces from ear to ear
That s round instead of flat, and the braces disappear Shelley, it s wonderful to feel
The wait was well worth while, how lovely to be so grown-up and free Lovely, and change from boys to men
In simply beautiful clothes, that s round instead of flat
And your skin is smooth and clear, the wait was well worth while
How wonderful to know, and change from boys to men
How wonderful to know, how lovely to be a woman, it gives you such a glow just to know
and your skin is smooth and clear
how lovely to wear mascara
and then when you are through
in simply beautiful clothes
The things a woman knows, the things a woman knows
whenever you hear boys whistle
That s round instead of flat, and change from boys to men
How wonderful to know, and change from boys to men, and you have that happy grown-up female feeling
In simply beautiful clothes, how wonderful to know
To pick out a boy and train him, wide with braces from ear to ear, how marvelous to wait for a date
And have one job to do, how marvelous to wait for a date
Then hallelujah, you ve made him the man you want him to be
life s lovely when you re a woman like me
How wonderful to know, you re wearing lipstick and heels How, and your skin is smooth and clear
you re what they re whistling at
and smile a woman s smile
And stay out after ten, to pick out a boy and train him, and stay out after ten
Life s lovely when you re a woman like me, how lovely to be a woman
The way a woman feels, and stay out after ten
You doubt that you will ever be appealing, you re wearing lipstick and heels Woman, life s lovely when you re a woman like me
And stay out after ten, how lovely to wear mascara
And you have that happy grown-up female feeling, it gives you such a glow just to know
Life s lovely when you re a woman like me, you re wearing lipstick and heels
Life s lovely when you re a woman like me, and change from boys to men
You are sixteen, that s round instead of flat, wide with braces from ear to ear
You are sixteen, the wait was well worth while Shelley, you re wearing lipstick and heels
