"You're a First Class Lady And You Ought To Know,
That Everyone Can see It. 
(You Can  Really Really Do It).
You Got that Style And It Really Shows,
No Keeping It A Secret.
(Not That You Can.).

Just Trying To Tell You, That You're The Best.
All You Need Is Some Confidence.

You Can Really Do It 
(You can Really Really Do It)
Deep Inside You Can
(You Gotta Do It, You Can)
Now The Bigger View Is,
It's Time You Finally Knew It
You Can Really Do It.

You're A Top Notch Gal,
You're A Top Notch Talent, And You Ought To Know,
You're Taking A Position.
(You can Really Really Do It)

You Could Run The City With A Simple Smile,
You Make Us Sit Up And Listen.
(Yes, You Can).

Just Trying To Tell You, That You're The Best.
All You Need Is Some Confidence.

You Can Really Do It 
(You Can Really Really Do It)
Deep Inside You Can
(You Know You Can)
Now The Bigger View Is,
It's Time You Finally Knew It
You Can Really Do It.

You Bowl Me Over When You look My Way,
It's A Natural Reaction.
(You can Really Do It)
You've Got Something Special That Will Never Change,
A Permanent Attraction.

It's Finally Time You Started Stepping Out,
Now's The Time To Put Away Your Doubts. 

You Can Really Do It 
(You Can Really Really Do It)
Deep Inside You Can
(You Know You Can)
Now Your Bigger View Is,
It's Time You Finally Knew It
You Got To Really Do It.

You Can Really Do It 
(You Can Really Really Do It)
Deep Inside You Can
(You Know You Can)
Now The Bigger View Is,
It's Time You Finally Knew It
You Got To  Really Do It.
You Can Really Do It."

Excited to share more in the coming weeks."
