Scom
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'm so tired of playing
Playing with this bow and arrow
Gonna give my heart away
Leave it to the other girls to play
For I've been a temptress too long
Oo yes
Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be a woman
I just wanna be a woman
From this time, unchained
We're all looking at a different picture
Through this new frame of mind
A thousand flowers could bloom
Move over and give us some room
Yeah
Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be a woman
I just wanna be a woman
So don't you stop being a man
Just take a little look from outside when you can
Show a little tenderness
And better if you cried
Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be a woman
I just wanna be a woman
So I wanna be as a woman
For this is the beginning of forever and ever
It's time to move over
Oh it so loud
I wanna be
I'm so tired of playing
Playing with this bow and arrow
Gonna give my heart away
Leave it to the other girls to play
For I've been a temptress too long
Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be a woman
I just wanna be a woman
