He said hold on patricia
I only tried to kiss ya'
You say okay and then say don't you dare
She seemed so badly shaken
He thought he was mistaken
But it sure looked like she'd bowed her head in prayer
He heard her sigh, i am a christian, lord, but i'm a woman too
He heard her cry, if you are listening, lord, please show me what to do
He saw her try, i'm trying hard to be what momma says is good
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
Wondering if i did right or wrong
