Lyrics
Baby
Only a woman sees
Only a woman knows secrets she gotta keep
When she's barely holding on
Only a woman cries
With force that will shake the skies
Only a woman bleeds
Only a woman
Only a woman sees
Only a woman knows secrets she gotta keep
When she's barely holding on
Only a woman cries
With force that will shake the skies
Only a woman bleeds
Only a woman
Up before the sun (like a man)
On top of my game I stay strong (like a man)
On the grind for the ones that I love (like a so-called man)
Did I mention it's that time of the month
Leaving work days just gettin' started?
Between the bills and these men, there's no end to this drama
Sometimes I'm at the point feel like givin' up
But if I don't take care of me then tell me who will?
Don't you remember the pain and the mood swings? (Tell me)
I still go through the day with a smile on my face (I don't think so)
Gotta headache, backache, on top of that I'm crampin'
When that energy comes it's that time of the month, that's why
Only a woman sees
Only a woman knows secrets she gotta keep
When she's barely holding on
Only a woman cries
With force that will shake the skies
Only a woman bleeds
Only a woman
Only a woman sees
Only a woman knows secrets she gotta keep
When she's barely holding on
Only a woman cries
With force that will shake the skies
Only a woman bleeds
Only a woman
I put on my pants (like a man)
I even take out the trash (like a man)
I'm tough but I'm bruised
But I've gotten used to taking abuse (like a so-called man)
Can't be loyal, give him love and submission
'Cause if he breaks out, I must assume the position
Working 12 hours days at a job that I hate
Just learning how to misplace all the pain
Don't you remember the pain and the mood swings? (Tell me)
I still go through the day with a smile on my face (I don't think so)
Gotta headache (head hurts) backache
On top of that I'm crampin' (and my back aches)
When that energy comes it's that time of the month
Only a woman sees
Only a woman knows secrets she gotta keep
When she's barely holding on
Only a woman cries
With force that will shake the skies
Only a woman bleeds
Only a woman
Only a woman sees
Only a woman knows secrets she gotta keep
When she's barely holding on
Only a woman cries
With force that will shake the skies
Only a woman bleeds
Only a woman (tell me)
When you wake up in the morning
And your stomach is turning
Always hungry for something
Uncontrollable yearnings
Hard to feel pretty
When your clothes don't even button
Not for nothing
It's hard to be a woman
And can you deal with what comes
When it's gone for nine months?
But the pressures still building
Only I can have these children
And God knows what he made
He made me
Strong as I can be
That's why only woman (yeah)
Only a woman sees
Only a woman knows secrets she gotta keep
When she's barely holding on
Only a woman cries
With force that will shake the skies
Only a woman bleeds
Only a woman
Only a woman sees
Only a woman knows secrets she gotta keep
When she's barely holding on
Only a woman cries
With force that will shake the skies
Only a woman bleeds
Only a woman
We sacrifice, dedicate our lives
Stand by your side, smile when we wanna cry
Let you wear the hat while we take the chair
Hold our commitments, still treated unfair
But, oh be weary of a hardened heart
Hell hath no fury when the fighting starts
'Cause we can hate with the same strength we love
Only a woman can do all the above
Only a woman sees
Only a woman knows secrets she gotta keep
When she's barely holding on
Only a woman cries
With force that will shake the skies
Only a woman bleeds
Only a woman
Only a woman sees
Only a woman knows secrets she gotta keep
When she's barely holding on (she's barely holding on)
Only a woman cries
With force that will shake the skies
Only a woman bleeds
Only a woman
