He said ?Hold on Patricia, I only tried to kiss ya 
    F5               D5        C5        F5 
She said ?Okay? and then said don't ya dare

She seemed so badly shaken, He thought he was mistaken  
       F5                    D5        C5       F5 
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.
