Wonder Woman

Lyrics

When I'm down and out she stays by me without a doubt

And if I stumble like I'm gonna fall

She's right there at my beck and call

She's my wonder woman, wonder one

What she can't do, can't be done

(Make me feel so good)

Early in the morning

(I feel so good and thing)

A friend a mine said with this girl I shouldn't stay

But hey guess what?

I stuck by her anyway

O Lord, I'm glad I did

Just look what I'd be missing if I'd listened to that young kid

Every now and then, yeah yeah

I thank my maker for the shape I'm in

(Make me feel so good)

Early in the morning

(I feel so good and thing)

She makes me feel ten feet tall

If I'm worth anything she's got it all

Weeks into months

Months into years

I got to tell you how sweet it is

If you ever leave my life

I would surely die (cry and cry)

(Make me feel so good)

Make me wanna...

(I feel so good and thing)

Sometimes I think something will go wrong

Nothing this good ever lasts long

Then you come along and guarantee

Just how much you care for me

Every now and then, yeah yeah

I thank my maker for the shape I'm in

(Make me feel so good)

Early in the morning

(I feel so good and thing)
