Lyrics

Ken tuck y the wom an, she shines with her own kind of light.

She’d look at you once, and a day that’s all wrong looks all right.

And I love her;

God knows, I (G)love her.

Ken tuck y wom an,

if she get to know you,

she goin’ to own you,

Ken tuck y wom an.

Well, she ain’t the kind makes heads turn at the drop of her name.

But some thing in side that she’s got turns you on just the same.

And she loves me;

God knows, she (G)loves me.

Ken tuck y wom an,

if she get to know you,

she goin’ to own you,

Ken tuck y wom an.

I don’t want much,

the good Lord’s earth be neath my feet.

A gen tle touch

from that one girl, and life is

sweet and good.

Ain’t no doubt,

I’m talk in’ a bout Ken tuck y wom an,

if she get to know you,

she goin’ to own you,

Ken tuck y wom an.

I don’t want much,

the good Lord’s earth be neath my feet.

A gen tle touch

from that one girl, and life is

sweet and good.

Ain’t no doubt,

I’m talk in’ a bout Ken tuck y wom an,

if she get to know you,

she goin’ to own you,

Ken tuck y wom an.

Ken tuck y wom an.

Ken tuck y wom an.

Ken tuck y wom an.
