GOD'S GIFT TO WOMEN
Rory Block

1. I don't want no handsome man 'cause he won't treat me right.
Lord, always flirtin' an' cheatin', stayin' out half the night.
Lord, everybody wants him but that don't mean he's good.
I'd rather have a plain-lookin' man who'll love me like he should.

CHORUS: God's gift to women, that's what they think they are:
God's gift to women, just like a movie star.
Everybody wants him, but that don't mean he's good.
I'd rather have a plain-lookin' man who'll love me like he should.

2. I say a plain man likes his lovin', but a handsome man makes you beg.
He wants to see you crawlin', kneelin' by his leg.
He always keeps you waitin' because he don't have much to give.*
No, he thinks you should be grateful for having him today.*

3. You know a plain man will be faithful. He hates to be untrue.
He don't need no fancy car. He just wants to make love to you.
He won't win no beauty contest, but that's just not what counts.
You need lots of tender lovin' by the pound and not the ounce.

[*I suspect an error in the transcription because these lines don't rhyme, but I can't correct them because I haven't heard the whole song, only a couple of samples.]
