Lyrics
Son And Daughter
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 want you
Tried to be your son and daughter rolled into one
You said you'd equal any man for having your fun
Now didn't you feel surprise to find
The cap just didn't fit?
The world expects a man
To buckle down and to shovel shit
What'll you do for loving
When it's only just begun?
I want you
To be a woman
Tried to be a teacher and a fisher of men
An equal people preacher, will you lead us all the same?
Well I travelled around the world
To find a brand new word for day
Watching the time mustn't linger behind
Pardon me I have to get away
What'll you think of heaven
If it's back from where you came?
I want you
To be a woman
I want you to be a woman, yeah
