Man Compares Woman

When a man compares a woman

To a mountain

I'm not yours to climb

You'll never overcome me

When a man compares a woman

To a river

That's not deep enough

I keep flowing

When a man

Not my man

Won't side with me

My words only mine

Talk myself to sleep

I am free

I am free

When a man compares a woman

To a flower

That don't smell as sweet

Had you let me be

When a man compares a woman

To his mother

Go figure

The issue

Never left the womb

And if a man did love me like I love myself

God rest his soul I'm not holding him

I am free

I am free

I am free

I am free

When a man compares a woman to a mountain

I'm not yours to climb

You'll never overcome me
