It’s a Woman’s Prerogative Songtext
von Mildred Bailey

I don′t know who it was wrote it
Or by whose pen it was signed
Someone once said and I quote it
"It's a woman′s prerogative to change her mind"
He may have you in a halter
Harnessed before and behind
But 'til you kneel at that altar
It's a woman′s prerogative to change her mind
Promise anything
Anything at all
Promise everything
Honey, don′t swerve
Throw him a curve
String him along
'Til he shows you what he′s got in reserve
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
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
So don't fret how much you've kissed him
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
