I was warned As a child of thirteen Not to act too strong Try to look like you belong But don't push, girl Save your time and trouble Don't misbehave I was raised in a "No You Don't World" Overrun with rules Memorize your lines And move as directed That's an age old story Everybody knows That's a worn out song But you and I Are changing that tune We're learning New rhythms from the woman I said the woman in the moon Little sister Little brother Keep on pushin' Don't believe a word about Things you heard about Askin' too much Too soon 'Cause they can hold back the tide But they can never Hold the woman in the moon I believe There's a best of both worlds Mixing old and new Recognizing change Is seldom expected As I long suspected They believed that strange Was a word for wrong Well, not in my song 'Cause you, you and I Are changing that tune We're learning new rhythms From that woman in the moon Little sister Little brother Keep on pushin' Don't believe a word about Things you heard about Askin' too much Too soon 'Cause they can hold back the tide But they can never hold the woman I said the woman in the moon
