"Are you a woman?"
She asks
With such disdain
And my heart stumbles
"Are you a woman?"
He mocks me
And for a fleeting moment
I consider
Truth or lie or silence -
My heartbeat quickens
And in a perfect world
I'm loud and clear -
"No"

"Are you a woman?"
She asks
With such disdain
And my heart stumbles
"Are you a woman?"
He mocks me
And for a fleeting moment
I consider
Truth or lie or silence -
My heartbeat quickens
And in a perfect world
I'm loud and clear -
"No"
they say "don't dare,
don't you even go there,
cutting off your long hair,
you do as you're told"
