Subject: Lyr Add: TAILOR-MADE WOMAN (Bryant/Kemp)
Not the song that was wanted, probably, but I might as well post it here. I found the song on Spotify.

TAILOR-MADE WOMAN
Words and music by Jimmy Bryant and Bill Kemp
As sung by Tennessee Ernie Ford, with Joe 'Fingers' Carr on piano, 1951.

There's an old sayin' 'bout roll your own.
There's tailor-made suits; that's quite well known.
There's a tailor-made woman that's hard to beat.
Takes a tailor-made man to knock her off her feet.

When I want lovin', she gives it to me.
We go together like honey and the bee.
She's a tailor-made woman; I'm a tailor-made man.
That's the kind o' lovin' I understand.

She's sweet, neat, all complete.
She's the kind o' girl I love.
She's small, tall; that ain't all.
True as the stars above.

She's a real sweet gal with a tailor-made smile.
For a tailor-made kiss, I'd walk a mile.
Listen here, boy, if you can meet,
Take a tailor-made woman; they're hard to beat.
