To Be a Woman Lyrics

I feel a bond between us
I have felt like you do
I know better than to take it away from you

I have a right, the only one in my life
A right to what is rightfully mine
Untainted, untempted, and sober

I will never touch that skin again
I will never feel that way again
I will never look into the face of my father or my friends
And be able to say, I'm okay, I'm okay, I don't feel pain anyway
Not anymore, anyway

And I'm not dead yet, I could be soon
And all I want to do is put my arms around you

Little girl, it's all so new
Go little girl, you need to learn, little girl
Not to take what is a man

And I'm not dead yet, I could be soon
And all I want to do is put my arms around you

Little girl, it's all so new
Go little girl, you need to learn, little girl
What it is to be a woman
