Its a Womans Perogative by Mildred Bailey Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don’t know who it was voted
Or by whose hand it was signed
Someone once said, and I quote it
“It’s a woman’s prerogative to change her mind.”

[Verse 2]
We may have you in a holder
Harnessed before and behind
But ‘til you kneel at that altar
It’s a woman’s prerogative to change her mind

[Bridge 1]
Promise anything, anything at all
Promise everything
Honey don’t swerve
Throw him a curve
String ‘em along ‘til they show you
What they’ve got in reserve

[Verse 3]
Though his bank
Shows a big balance
And he seems heaven-designed
If the boy’s short on his talents
It’s a woman’s prerogative to change her mind
[Bridge 2]
They say precedent
Makes a thing a law
Hooray, precedent
I can say “yes” when I mean “no”
Hard to believe, but they tell me that it’s legally so

[Verse 4]
So don’t fret
How much you’ve kissed ‘em
If on their couch you recline
Don’t forget, we’ve got a system:
It’s a woman’s prerogative to change her mind
She can change her mind
