Being a Woman Songtext
All alone
When I wake up, this is what they showed me
Until you learn, nobody else will show you how
Oh when you′re all alone, that's the perfect time to work it out
Being a woman
Being a woman
You have to hold yourself
Being a woman
Being a woman
Before you hold someone else
You got to hold onto yourself now
Hold on to yourself
Got to be good to you
Before you love somebody else
You got to hold onto yourself now
Hold on to yourself
Got to be good to you
Before you love someone
Until you learn, nobody else will show you how
Oh when you′re all alone, that's the perfect time to work it out
Being a woman
Being a woman
You have to hold yourself
Being a woman
Being a woman
Before you hold someone else
And when I came here, this is what they told me
Ah, you don't need to do that, you have a voice
So sing
But I wanted to do more than sing
If I′m a girl, a girl grown up
There are things, we′re suppose to do
What will become of, my sexuality?
What you say is, "Make it up to me"
What will become of, my sexuality?
What you say is, "Make it up to me"
When I grew up, I thought I had to be
Somebody's mother or somebody′s daughter
I thought I had to do it all by myself
Thought I had something to prove
But I needed no-one else
I didn't need no you
Well I thought I had to do it all by myself
Thought I had something to prove
And that I needed no-one else
And I didn′t need no you
Well I spent a long time to find you
Spent a long time to please ya
Where does that leave me now? Hey
Where does that leave me now? Hey ya
I spent a long time to find you
I spent a long time to please ya
Where does that leave me now? Hey
Where does that leave me now?
Being a woman
Being a woman
You have to hold yourself
Being a woman
Being a woman
Before you love someone else
You got to hold onto yourself now
Hold on to yourself
Got to be good to you
Before you love somebody else
You got to hold onto yourself now
Hold on to yourself
Got to be kind to me
Before you love someone
Hold my love
Hold my love
Hold my love
Who am I suppose to be
Who will show me how to live?
Redefine sexuality
That's how I find my way
Who am I suppose to be
Can you show me how to live?
Redefine sexuality
That′s how I find my way
When I wake up, this is what they showed me
Until you learn, nobody else will show you how
Oh when you′re all alone, that's the perfect time to work it out
Being a woman
Being a woman
You have to hold yourself
Being a woman
Being a woman
Before you hold someone else
You got to hold onto yourself now
Hold on to yourself
Got to be good to you
Before you love somebody else
You got to hold onto yourself now
Hold on to yourself
Got to be good to you
Before you love someone
Until you learn, nobody else will show you how
Oh when you′re all alone, that's the perfect time to work it out
Being a woman
Being a woman
You have to hold yourself
Being a woman
Being a woman
Before you hold someone else
And when I came here, this is what they told me
Ah, you don't need to do that, you have a voice
So sing
But I wanted to do more than sing
If I′m a girl, a girl grown up
There are things, we′re suppose to do
What will become of, my sexuality?
What you say is, "Make it up to me"
What will become of, my sexuality?
What you say is, "Make it up to me"

Spent a long time to please ya
Where does that leave me now? Hey
Where does that leave me now? Hey ya
I spent a long time to find you
I spent a long time to please ya
Where does that leave me now? Hey
Where does that leave me now?
Being a woman
Being a woman
You have to hold yourself
Being a woman
Being a woman
Before you love someone else
You got to hold onto yourself now
Hold on to yourself
Got to be good to you
Before you love somebody else
You got to hold onto yourself now
Hold on to yourself
Got to be kind to me
Before you love someone
Hold my love
Hold my love
Hold my love
Who am I suppose to be
Who will show me how to live?
Redefine sexuality
That's how I find my way
Who am I suppose to be
Can you show me how to live?
Redefine sexuality
That′s how I find my way
