Only a Woman sees
|
Only a Woman knows secrets she gotta keep
|
She¡¯s 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
|
It¡¯s that time of the month
|
|
Leaving work
|
Days just gettin¡¯ started
|
Between the bills and these men
|
There¡¯s no end to this drama
|
Sometimes I¡¯m at the point feel like givin¡¯ up
|
But if I don¡¯t take care of me
|
Then tell me who will?
|
|
Don¡¯t you remember the pain
|
And the mood swings (Tell me)
|
I still go through the day with a smile on my face
|
(I don¡¯t think so)
|
Gotta headache, backache, on top of that I¡¯m crampin¡¯
|
When that energy comes it¡¯s that time of the month
|
That¡¯s why¡¦¡¦¡¦.
|
|
(Chorus 2x)
|
|
I put on my pants (like a man)
|
I even take out the trash (like a man)
|
I¡¯m tough but I¡¯m bruised
|
But I¡¯ve gotten used to
|
Taking abuse (like a so-called man)
|
Can¡¯t 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
|
|
Don¡¯t you remember the pain
|
And the mood swings (Tell me)
|
I still go through the day with a smile on my face
|
(I don¡¯t think so)
|
Gotta headache (head hurts) backache
|
On top of that I¡¯m crampin¡¯ (and my back aches)
|
When that energy comes it¡¯s 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 don¡¯t even button
|
Not for nothing
|
It¡¯s hard to be a Woman
|
|
And can you deal with what comes
|
When it¡¯s 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
|
That¡¯s 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 she¡¯s 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
|
