| I don’t expect you to understand
|
| You can’t imagine how I’m feeling
|
| I can’t admit it to myself
|
| So where would I even begin?
|
| Cos I’m a proud woman
|
| I must be proud, woman
|
| And I am strong woman
|
| I must be strong, woman
|
| It’s too painful to even think about
|
| So it would kill me to say it out loud
|
| All this time I thought I’d worked it out
|
| So if you don’t mind I’ll leave it for now
|
| And stay a proud woman
|
| I must be proud, woman
|
| Cos I am strong woman
|
| I cant be a mad woman
|
| I have analysed every single inch of my skin
|
| And comparisons I can’t seem to break in my daily routine
|
| I find myself obsessing imperfections that only I see
|
| And i know it’s such a waste but the pressure is getting to me
|

|
| You’d never know what it’s like to be a woman
|
| You’d never know what it’s like to be a girl
|
| You’d never know what it’s like to be a woman
|
| You’d never know what it’s like to be a girl
|
| Why should my intellect be judged by perceptions of what I should be?
|
| And who says that it’s right we must stop looking skin deep
|
| It’s so young that it starts expectations are too far to reach
|
| And you say that its fine maybe thats because you don’t want to see
|
| (I don’t expect you to understand)
|
| You’d never know what it’s like to be a woman
|
| You’d never know what it’s like to be a girl
|
| You’d never know what it’s like to be a woman
|
| You’d never know what it’s like to be a girl
|
| (girl, girl, girl, girl…) |
