[Lyric] Custom Made Woman Blues (Hazel Dickens & Alice Gerrard)

[Verse 1: Alice Gerrard]
Well, I tried to be the kind of woman you wanted me to be
And it's not your fault that I tried to be what I thought you wanted to see
Smilin' face, shinin' hair, clothes that I thought you'd like me to wear
Made to please and not to tease, it's the custom-made woman blues

[Verse 2: Alice Gerrard]
Yes, I tried to be the kind of woman you wanted me to be
And I tried to see life your way and say all the things you'd like me to say
Lovin' thoughts, gentle hands, all guaranteed to keep ahold of your man
Made to please and not to tease, it's thе custom-made woman blues

[Break: Alice Gerrard]
Oh, play it, Schwarz

[Verse 3: Alice Gerrard]
And now you say you're tirеd of me
And all of those things I thought you wanted me to be
Is it true you want someone who knows how to think and do on her own?
Lord, it's hard to realize the lessons I learned so young were nothin' but lies
Made to please and not to tease, it's the custom-made woman blues
Made to please and not to tease, it's the custom-made woman blues
