Grandmother Mary always told me to
be a woman of my word
So I gladly step up to the plate
If I know I won't be on time
I call in before I'm late
She always said she'd understand
If I couldn't make it through
But call her first to let her know
Because she's got things to do

She taught me to be considerate
Of other people's time
So if I couldn't make it
There's no need for even lying
Just be up front and let them know
And you better speak your mind
For if you don't, you'll set yourself up
And now they'll think your lying
Just be a woman of your word
No matter how...
