Only a Woman sees
~#**************#~
Only a Woman knows secrets she gotta keep
~#**************#~
Shes barely holding on
~#**************#~
Only a Woman cries
~#**************#~
With force that will shake the skies
~#**************#~
Only a Woman bleeds
~#**************#~
Only a Woman
~#**************#~
(2x)
~#**************#~
Up before the sun (like a man)
~#**************#~
On top of my game
~#**************#~
I stay strong (like a man)
~#**************#~
On the grind for the ones that I love (like a so-called man)
~#**************#~
Did I mention
~#**************#~
Its that time of the month
~#**************#~
Leaving work
~#**************#~
Days just gettin started
~#**************#~
Between the bills and these men
~#**************#~
Theres no end to this drama
~#**************#~
Sometimes Im at the point feel like givin up
~#**************#~
But if I dont take care of me
~#**************#~
Then tell me who will?
~#**************#~
Dont you remember the pain
~#**************#~
And the mood swings (Tell me)
~#**************#~
I still go through the day with a smile on my face
~#**************#~
(I dont think so)
~#**************#~
Gotta headache, backache, on top of that Im crampin
~#**************#~
When that energy comes its that time of the month
~#**************#~
Thats why………
~#**************#~
(Chorus 2x)
~#**************#~
I put on my pants (like a man)
~#**************#~
I even take out the trash (like a man)
~#**************#~
Im tough but Im bruised
~#**************#~
But Ive gotten used to
~#**************#~
Taking abuse (like a so-called man)
~#**************#~
Cant be loyal
~#**************#~
Give him love and submission
~#**************#~
€˜Cause if he breaks out
~#**************#~
I must assume the position
~#**************#~
Working 12 hours days at a job that I hate
~#**************#~
Just learning how to misplace all the pain
~#**************#~
Dont you remember the pain
~#**************#~
And the mood swings (Tell me)
~#**************#~
I still go through the day with a smile on my face
~#**************#~
(I dont think so)
~#**************#~
Gotta headache (head hurts) backache
~#**************#~
On top of that Im crampin (and my back aches)
~#**************#~
When that energy comes its that time of the month
~#**************#~
(Chorus till end)
~#**************#~
Tell me
~#**************#~
When you wake up in the morning
~#**************#~
And your stomach is turning
~#**************#~
Always hungry for something
~#**************#~
Uncontrollable yearnings
~#**************#~
Hard to feel pretty
~#**************#~
When your clothes dont even button
~#**************#~
Not for nothing
~#**************#~
Its hard to be a Woman
~#**************#~
And can you deal with what comes
~#**************#~
When its gone for 9 months
~#**************#~
The pressures still building
~#**************#~
Only I can have these children
~#**************#~
And God knows what he made
~#**************#~
He made me
~#**************#~
Strong as I can be
~#**************#~
Thats why
~#**************#~
Only a Woman
~#**************#~
Only a Woman can do these things
~#**************#~
Give her love day after day
~#**************#~
Only a Woman can endure all this pain
~#**************#~
And still give her love
~#**************#~
And shes barely holding on
~#**************#~
Only a Woman
~#**************#~
We sacrifice
~#**************#~
Dedicate our lives
~#**************#~
Stand by your side
~#**************#~
Smile when we wanna cry
~#**************#~
Let you wear the hat
~#**************#~
While we take the chair
~#**************#~
Hold our commitments
~#**************#~
Still treated unfair
~#**************#~
But, Oh be weary of a hardened heart
~#**************#~
Hell hath no fury when the fighting starts
~#**************#~
€˜Cause we can hate with the same strength we love
~#**************#~
Only a Woman can do all the above
