Woman

I don't expect you to understand You can't imagine how I'm feeling I can't admit it to myself So where would I even begin? 'Cause I'm a proud woman I must be proud, woman And I am strong, woman I must be strong, woman It's too painful to even think about So it would kill me to say it out loud All this time I thought I'd worked it out So if you don't mind, I'll leave it for now And stay a proud woman I must be proud, woman 'Cause I am strong, woman I can't be a mad woman I have analysed every single inch of my skin And comparisons I can't seem to break in my daily routine I find myself obsessing imperfections that only I see (I can't break the free) And I know it's such a waste but the pressure is getting to me (I don't expect you to understand) You'd never know what it's like to be a woman You'd never know what it's like to be a girl You'd never know what it's like to be a woman You'd never know what it's like to be a girl Why should my intellect be judged by perceptions of what I should be? And who says that it's right? We must stop looking skin deep It's so young that it starts, expectations are too far to reach (we lose control) And you say that it's fine, maybe thats because you don't want to see (I don't expect you to understand) You'd never know what it's like to be a woman You'd never know what it's like to be a girl You'd never know what it's like to be a woman You'd never know what it's like to be a girl (Girl, girl, girl, girl...)
