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 woman I can't be a mad woman I've analysed every single inch of my skin And comparisons I can't seem to break in my daily routine I find myself obsessing imperfections they're O.P.R.C. And I know it's such a waste but the pressure is getting to me I don't expect you to understand You never know what it's like to be woman You never know what it's like to be a girl You never know what it's like to be woman You never know what it's like to be a girl 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 so deep? It's so young that it starts, expectations are too far to reach And you say that it's fine, maybe that's because you don't want to see You never know what it's like to be a woman You never know what it's like to be a girl You never know what it's like to be a woman You never know what it's like to be a girl Girl, girl, girl, girl, why? Girl, girl, girl, girl, why?
