TO BE WOMAN Lyrics

I watched the news today, I wish I'd turned it off

It wouldn't change a thing, but maybe wouldn't piss me off

Ignorance is bliss, but boy, ambivalence just kills me more

You should know better, oh, you should know

My body isn't yours to take, my mind it isn't yours to make

I could always try, but I am still in the hands of some guy

And I, ooh, oh, to be a woman

And I, ooh, now to be woman is to be uncertain

Did you see the news today?

A mad man's on TV

You keep a smile on, but god, this shit is killing me

Does your mom see your aggression?

Is she proud of your discretion?

You should know better, oh, you should know

My body isn't yours to take, my heart it isn't yours to break

I could always try, but I would still be under some guy

And I, ooh, just to be a woman

And I, ooh, why should a woman have to be uncertain

Would you ever cry for me?

Do you even care?

Your passion is my prison, but my life is your nightmare

My body isn't yours to take, my heart it isn't yours to break

I could die inside and still be in debt to some guy

And I, ooh, ooh

Mm-hmm, this is to be woman, oh

Mm-hmm, this is to be woman
