Woman - Rosie Lowe, Cooly G

I don’t expect you to understand

You can’t imagine how I’m feeling

I can’t admit it to myself

So where would 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 even 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, a 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 find myself obsessing imperfections that only I can see

And I know it’s such a waste, but the pressure is getting to me

I don’t expect you to understand

You’d never know what it’s like to be a woman

You’d never know what it’s like to be a girl

You’d never know what it’s like to be a woman

You’d never know what it’s like to be a girl

Girl, girl, girl, why?

Should my intellect be judged by perceptions of what I should be?

And who says that it’s right?

We must stop looking skin deep

It’s so young that it starts, expectations are too far to reach

We 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

You’d never know what it’s like to be a woman

You’d never know what it’s like to be a girl

You’d never know what it’s like to be a woman

You’d never know what it’s like to be a girl

Girl, girl, girl

Girl, girl, girl
