Lyrics

When I wake up in the morning And you're laid there quiet, besides Just the sound, you quietly snoring Just the sight, mouth open wide It's that look that gets me through there When you're vulnerable and you're weak 'Fore I make you your first coffee I kissed you gently on the cheek Many women who are weaker (ooh) Would not put up with what I've got (ooh) Many women who are stronger (ooh) Find themselves in similar knot When they look back on my journey My behaviour, my choice of men I may not be widely respected More a fool just now and then Those suffragettes sure had some courage But also half this land's support I had simply nobody Whenever I fell short As I fold his morning paper As I put out his best shoes I often ask myself, 'What's better? To be ignored or to be used?' And that weakness that I show I show to no-one else on earth And the strength I have to deal with you That's been with me since my birth Short, I was of any compliment (ooh) Short, I was of any hope (ooh) Long away I was from happiness (ooh) Long in bath I'd like to soak When they look back on my journey My behaviour, my choice of men I may not be widely respected More a fool just now and then Those suffragettes sure had some courage But also half this land's support I had simply nobody Whenever I fell short Yeah but we, we are weak and we are strong We are confident, half the time No-one's free of imperfections If you could see your faults Like I see mine, like I see mine When they look back on my journey My behaviour, my choice of men I may not be widely respected More a fool just now and then Those suffragettes sure had some courage But also half this land's support I had simply nobody Whenever I fell short No one's free of imperfections If you could see your faults Like I see mine, like I see mine
