Woman

I don’t expect you to understand
You can’t imagine how I’m feeling
I cut a pin into myself
So where do I even begin?
‘Cause 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 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
‘Cause I am strong woman
I can’t be a mad woman

I have analyzed every single inch of my skin
And comparisons I can’t seem to break in my daily routine
I, I, I found myself obsessive with imperfections that only I see
(Break free) and I know it’s such a waste, but the pressure is getting to me
(I don’t expect you to understand)

It never knows what is like to be a woman
It never knows what is like to be a girl
It never knows what is like to be a woman
It never knows what is like to be a girl

Why should my intellect be judged by perceptions of what I should be?
And who says that is right we must stop looking in deep?
It’s so young that it stars expectations are too far to reach
(You lose control) and you say that it’s fine
Maybe that’s because you don’t want to see
(I don’t expect you to understand)

It never knows what is like to be a woman
It never knows what is like to be a girl
It never knows what is like to be a woman
It never knows what is like to be a girl
