If You Could See Your Faults |
| When I wake up in the morning |
| And you’re laid there, quiet besides |
| Just the sound of you quietly snoring |
| Just the sight mouth open wide |
| It’s that look that gets me through day |
| When you’re vulnerable and you’re weak |
| Before I make you your first coffee |
| I kiss you gently on the cheek |
| Many women who are weaker |
| Would not put up with what I’ve got |
| Many women who are stronger |
| Find themselves in similar knot |
| When they look back on my journey |
| My behaviour and choice of men |
| I may not be widely respected |
| More a fool just now and then |
| Suffragettes sure had some courage |
| But also have 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 |
| Short I was of any hope |
| Long away I was from happiness |
| Long in bath I’d like to sew |
| When they look back on my journey |
| My behaviour and choice of men |
| I may not be widely respected |
| More a fool just now and then |
| Suffragettes sure had some courage |
| But also have this land’s support |
| I had simply nobody |
| Whenever I fell short |
| We are both 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 and choice of men |
| I may not be widely respected |
| More a fool just now and then |
| Suffragettes sure had some courage |
| But also have 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 |
