He said ?Hold on Patricia, I only tried to kiss ya 
    F               Dm        C        F 
She said ?Okay? and then said don't ya dare 
    F 
She seemed so badly shaken, He thought he was mistaken  
       F                    Dm        C       F 
But it sure looked like she bowed her head in prayer.

As I slip into my womanhood
-------------------- 
Shortly after midnight, she turned off the porch light  

and walked into her bedroom all alone 

She sat down and said well Lord, tonight I 've been through hell Lord 

Wondering if I did right or wrong

Chorus 
 
Slowly slip into my woman hood.  Slowly slip into my womanhood,  

Slowly slip into my womanhood.
