"That's Why A Woman Loves A Heel" lyrics - DINAH WASHINGTON
He always knows the proper thing to say
He makes your blue night seem a holiday
He lies in such a fascinating way
That's why a woman loves a heel
You know that he's a phony more or less
But when he meets a lady in distress
He handles everything with such finesse
That's why a woman loves a heel
You'll meet a fellow who is on the square with you
And you ignore him, have no time for him
Or he will say, "Let's go" and set your heart aglow
You're won completely by a no good, so and so
He knows just how to get beneath your skin
He holds the aces, you can't win
He gets a lot of goodness out of sin
That's why a woman loves a heel
He knows just how to get beneath your skin
He always holds the aces, you can't win
He gets a lot of goodness out of sin
That's why a woman loves a heel
