Lyrics
To Be a Woman
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I feel a bond between us
I have felt like you do
I know better than to take it away from you
I have a right, the only one in my life
A right to what is rightfully mine
Untainted, untempted, and sober
I will never touch that skin again
I will never feel that way again
I will never look into the face of my father or my friends
And be able to say, I'm okay, I'm okay, I don't feel pain anyway
Not anymore, anyway
And I'm not dead yet, I could be soon
And all I want to do is put my arms around you
Little girl, it's all so new
Go little girl, you need to learn little girl
Not to take what is mine
I'm not dead yet, I could be soon
And all I want to do is put my arms around you
Little girl, it's all so new
Go little girl, you need to learn little girl
What it is to be a woman
