  • There was Adam, happy as a man could be,
    Till Eve got him messin' with that old apple tree
    Ain't that just like a woman?
    Ain't that just like a woman?
    Ain't that just like a woman?
    They'll do it every time

    Lot took his wife down to the corner for a malted,
    She wouldn't mind her business, boy, did she get salted
    Ain't that just like a woman?
    Ain't that just like a woman?
    Ain't that just like a woman?
    They'll do it every time

    Samson thought Delilah was on the square,
    Till one night she clipped him all his hair
    Ain't that just like a woman?
    Ain't that just like a woman?
    Ain't that just like a woman?
    They'll do it every time

    From our history books we all learned,
    Nero fiddled while Rome was burned
    Ain't that just like a woman?
    Ain't that just like a woman?
    Ain't that just like a woman?
    They'll do it every time

    Marie Antoinette met some hungry cats at the gate,
    They was crying for bread, she said, "Let them eat cake"
    Ain't that just like a woman?
    Ain't that just like a woman?
    Ain't that just like a woman?
    They'll do it every time

    You can buy a woman clothes,
    And give her money on the side,
    No matter what you do,
    She ain't never satisfied
    Ain't that just like a woman?
    Ain't that just like a woman?
    Ain't that just like a woman?
    They'll do it every time Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind

  • Christopher from Evanston, Il, UsaFleecie Moore was not known to have actually written any songs, either the music or lyrics, herself. The reason she received co-writing credits on many of Louis Jordan's compositions was to enable him to work with an additional music publisher. The shrewd tactic backfired however, when Moore twice tried to stab her famous husband during domestic disputes. They divorced, and she retained the rights to many of his hugely successful songs.
