Every day she tells her daughter “Baby you’re not just a pretty face” She says, “You gotta work much harder Than every single man, it’s just the way”
But she goes to the same job every day She’s overworked and underpaid Just ’cause the way her body’s made Ain’t that insane?
If you never been told how you gotta be What you gotta wear, how you gotta speak If you never shouted to be heard You ain’t lived in a woman’s world And if you can’t see that it’s gotta change Only want the body but not the brains If you think that’s the way it works You ain’t lived in a woman’s world
No, no (Try livin’, try try livin’) Oh, no (Try livin’, try try livin’) Oh (In a woman’s world) Try livin’ in a woman’s world
Every night she tells her daughter “Don’t you know a change is gonna come” There’s a whisper in the water And I know the tide is gonna turn No, no, no

If you never been told how you gotta be What you gotta wear, how you gotta speak If you never shouted to be heard You ain’t lived in a woman’s world And if you can’t see that it’s gotta change Only want the body but not the brains If you really think that’s the way it works You ain’t lived in a woman’s world
