Dusty Springfield - Girls Can't Do What the Guys Do Lyrics

Ooh, ooh
Guys are gonna want to go out and play sometime
But girls you must not let it get you down
Just take this advice I give you
Just like a mother
You try to match a guy's independence
You end up in the gutter

Girls, you can't do what the guys do, no
And still be a lady
Girls, you can't do what the guys do, no
And still be a lady
No, oh no

And, listen girls when you give your heart away
You can easily be hurt
And the least little wrong he does
Always seems like dirt
So take this advice I give you
Just like a mother
You try to match a guy's independence
You end up in the gutter

Girls, you can't do what the guys do, no
And still be a lady
Girls, you can't do what the guys do, no
And still be a lady
No, oh, no, mmm

When you put your faith in one guy
(Sometimes he'll make you happy)
(Sometimes he'll make you cry)
Don't lose your self-respect
Tryin' to gain revenge
'Cause no matter how you do it
You lose out in the end

Girls, you can't do what the guys do, no
And still be a lady
Girls, you can't do what the guys do, no
And still be a lady
Girls, you can't do what the guys do, no
And still be a lady
Girls, you can't do what the guys do, no
And still be a lady
Girls, you can't do what the guys do, no
And still be a lady
Girls, you can't do what the guys do, no

Ooh, ooh
Guys are gonna want to go out and play sometime
But girls you must not let it get you down
Just take this advice I give you
Just like a mother
You try to match a guy's independence
You end up in the gutter

Girls, you can't do what the guys do, no
And still be a lady
Girls, you can't do what the guys do, no
And still be a lady
No, oh no

And, listen girls when you give your heart away
You can easily be hurt
And the least little wrong he does
Always seems like dirt
So take this advice I give you
Just like a mother
You try to match a guy's independence
You end up in the gutter

Girls, you can't do what the guys do, no
And still be a lady
Girls, you can't do what the guys do, no
And still be a lady
No, oh, no, mmm

When you put your faith in one guy
(Sometimes he'll make you happy)
(Sometimes he'll make you cry)
Don't lose your self-respect
Tryin' to gain revenge
'Cause no matter how you do it
You lose out in the end

Girls, you can't do what the guys do, no
And still be a lady
Girls, you can't do what the guys do, no
And still be a lady
Girls, you can't do what the guys do, no
And still be a lady
Girls, you can't do what the guys do, no
And still be a lady
Girls, you can't do what the guys do, no
And still be a lady
Girls, you can't do what the guys do, no
