A romantic at heart........sigh!
Woman
John Lennon
(For the other half of the sky)
Woman I can hardly express
My mixed emotions at my thoughtlessness
After all I'm forever in your debt
And woman I will try to express
My inner feelings and thankfulness
For showing me the meaning of success
Ooh, well, well
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Ooh, well, well
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Woman I know you understand
The little child inside of the man
Please remember my life is in your hands
And woman hold me close to your heart
However distant don't keep us apart
After all it is written in the stars
Ooh, well, well
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Ooh, well, well
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Well
Woman please let me explain
I never meant to cause you sorrow or pain
So let me tell you again and again and again
I love you, yeah, yeah
Now and forever
I love you, yeah, yeah
Now and forever
I love you, yeah, yeah
Now and forever
I love you, yeah, yeah
Viva la diferance!

Actually, the more I think about it, the more I like the idea of this song as representing the kind of a woman I am ... and daggone proud of it too! (Like the song says, I'm not ashamed)

I hate the world today
You're so good to me, I know
But I can't change
I tried to tell you but
You look at me like maybe
I'm an angel underneath
Innocent and sweet
Yesterday I cried,
Must have been relieved
to see the softer side
I can understand why
you are so confused
I don't envy you
I'm a little bit of everything
all rolled into one
I'm a bitch, I'm a lover,
I'm a child, I'm a mother,
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint,
I do not feel ashamed,
I'm your hell, I'm your dream,
I'm nothing in between,
You know you wouldn't want it any other way
So take me as I am
this may mean you'll
have to be a stronger man
rest assured that when
I start to get you nervous
And I'm going to extremes
Tomorrow I will change
and today won't mean a thing
I'm a bitch, I'm a lover,
I'm a child, I'm a mother,
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint,
I do not feel ashamed,
I'm your hell, I'm your dream,
I'm nothing in between,
You know I wouldn't want it any other way
Just when you think
You got me figured out
The seasons already changin'
I think its cool
You do what you do
And don't try to change me
I'm a bitch, I'm a lover,
I'm a child, I'm a mother,
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint,
I do not feel ashamed,
I'm your hell, I'm your dream,
I'm nothing in between, You know you wouldn't want it any other way
I'm a bitch, I'm a lover,
I'm a child, I'm a mother,
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint,
I do not feel ashamed,
I'm your hell, I'm your dream,
I'm nothing in between,
You know you wouldn't want it any other way
I'm a bitch, I'm a tease,
I'm a goddess, on my knees,
When you hurt, when you suffer,
I'm an angel under cover
I'm a nunI'm revived
Can't say I'm not alive
You know I wouldn't want it any other way

I Won't Be Your Yoko Ono
Dar Williams
I wonder if Yoko Ono
Ever thought of staying solo
If she thought of other men and
If she doubted John Lennon
Worrying that he'd distract her art

Sitting in the Apple sessions
Giving John her music lessons
Challenging the warring nations
With her paper installations
Did she guard her Yoko human heart

Well, they could talk about me
Yeah, they could talk about me
Throw me to the velvet dogs of pop star history
But I won't be your Yoko Ono
If you're not good enough for me

Some will give their love for fashion
Others trade their gold for passion
I don't have the goods to start with
Never had the reins to part with
Still, I hope you take me seriously

'Cause I think I could go
Deep as the sea of Yoko
You don't know a person like me
I could sell your songs to Nike
And for all you know
I could save your soul
As only true love can change your mind
Make you leave your screaming fans behind

When John called the wind an opera
Making love with every chakra
When he said her voice would carry
And when he whispered old Chuck Berry
Only then would Yoko set him free

Fame will come and vanish later
Transcendental love is greater
I think if we had this somehow
We'd be feeling famous right now
We'd be saying love is all you need

And they could rag about me
Yeah, they could rag about me
Throw me to the velvet dogs of pop star history
But I won't be your Yoko Ono
If you're not good enough for me

Oh, no... and I won't be your Yoko Ono
If you're not good enough for me...

These are all great! Here is one of my favourites at the moment: (you must hum along as you read it)
PINK
No attorneys to plead my case
No opiates - to send me into outer space
And my fingers are bejewelled
With diamonds and gold but that ain?t
Gonna help me now
I?m trouble ? yeah trouble now
I?m trouble y?all, I disturb my town
I?m trouble ? yeah trouble now
I?m trouble y?all, I got trouble in my town
You think you?re right, but you were wrong
You tried to take me, but I knew all along
You can?t take me for a ride
I?m not a fool now - so you better run and hide
I?m trouble ? yeah trouble now
I?m trouble y?all, I disturb my town
I?m trouble ? yeah trouble now
I?m trouble y?all, I got trouble in my town
Naughty but nice

Michelle, ma belle
These are words that go together well
My Michelle

Michelle, ma belle
Sont des mots qui vont tre's bien ensemble
Tre's bien ensemble

I love you, I love you, I love you
That's all I want to say
Until I find a way
I will say the only words I know you'll understand.

Michelle, ma belle
Sont des mots qui vont tre's bien ensemble
Tre's bien ensemble

I need to, I need to, I need to
I need to make you see
Oh, what you mean to me.
Until I do, I'm hoping you will know what I mean
I love you

I want you, I want you, I want you
I think you know by now
I'll get to you some how
Until I do, I'm telling you, so you'll understand

Michelle, ma belle
Sont des mots qui vont tre's bien ensemble
Tre's bien ensemble
And I will say the only words I know that you'll understand
My Michelle

Thank you... and thanks to the very talented India Arie:
"Sometimes I shave my legs and sometimes I don't... Sometimes I comb my hair and sometimes I won't... Dependin' on how the wind blows, I might even paint my toes... It really just depends on whatever feels good in my soul...
(I'm not the average girl in your video And I ain't built like a supermodel But I learned to love myself unconditionally Because I am a queen... I'm not the average girl in your video My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes No matter what I'm wearin' I will always be The India Arie!) When I look in the mirror the only one there is me... Every freckle on my face is where it's supposed to be... And I know our Creator didn't make no mistakes on me... My feet, my thighs, my lips, my eyes... I'm lovin' what I see... (Chorus) Am I less of a lady if I don't wear panty hose? My mama says a lady ain't what she wears but what she knows Now, I've drawn the conclusion it's all an illusion Confusion's the name of the game A MISconception, MASS deception Somethin's gotta change! Don't be offended, this is all my opinion Ain't nothin' that I'm saying "law" This is the true confession of a life-learned lesson I was sent here to share with ya'll So get in where you fit in, go on and shine Free your mind; now's the time Put your sorrow on the shelf Go on and LOVE YOURSELF 'Cause everything's gonna be alright (Chorus) Keep your fancy drinks and your expensive minks I don't need that to have a good time Keep your expensive cars and your caviar All I need is my guitar Keep your Cristal and your pistol I'd rather have a pretty piece of crystal Don't need your silicone; I prefer my own What God gave me is just fine!
(chorus)

There's a place in France,
Where the women wear no pants.
sandy

She gets up an hour before she really wants to
Gets a half day's work done before the day begins
She makes a list of everything that everybody needs from her
And all that she did yesterday today she'll do again
She goes off to her job, the school, the bank and then the store
Then you're surprised 'cause she broke down as you walked in the door
Maybe she's human
Maybe she's got troubles to
Maybe she could stand to get away
Maybe she needs something new
Or maybe all she needs to someone
Just to see her point of view...
Maybe that's you
After working late today, she brings in bags of groceries
Bandages a skinned-up knee as the chicken starts to fry
She drops a glass, the baby cries, the phone rings,
That's when you walk in unloading all your problems
And the worries on your mind
When you mention it's your boys' night out, she tears you into shreds
And you just can't quite figure out why she gets all upset
Maybe she's human
Maybe she's got troubles to
Maybe she could stand to get away
Maybe she needs something new
Or maybe all she needs to someone
Just to see her point of view...
Maybe that's you

This song still makes me cry.

All Woman---Lisa Stansfield

He's home again from another day She smiles at him as he walks through the door She wonders if it will be okay It's hard for her when he doesn't respond He says babe you look a mess You look dowdy in that dress It's just not like it used to be Then she says... I may not be a lady But I'm all woman From monday to sunday I work harder than you know I'm no classy lady But I'm all woman And this woman needs a little love to make her strong You're not the only one She stands there and lets the tears flow Tears that she's been holding back so long She wonders where did all the loving go The love they used to share when they were strong She says yes I look a mess But I don't love you any less I thought you always thought enough of me to always be impressed He holds her and hangs his head in shame He doesn't see her like he used to do He's too wrapped up in working for his pay He hasn't seen the pain he's put her through Attention that he paid Just vanished in the haze He remembers how it used to be When he used to say You'll always be a lady 'Cos you're all woman From monday to sunday I love you much more than you know You're a classy lady 'Cos you're all woman This woman needs a loving man to keep her warm You're the only one You're a classy lady 'Cos you're all woman So sweet the love that used to be So sweet the love that used to be We can be sweet again...

Why not keep smackin' the "bruthas" all upside the head with some "this is a man's world... but it wouldn't be nuthin' without a woman or a girl" songs. Here's another one, courtesy of Karen White, wife of Terry Lewis (1/2 of Janet Jackson's writing team, formerly known as "Cult Jam"...)
"Early in the morning I put breakfast on the table And make sure that your coffee has its sugar and cream Your eggs are "overeasy", your toast done "lightly" All that's missing in your morning kiss That used to greet me Now you say, "The juice is sour; it used to be so sweet" And I can't help but to wonder if you're talking 'bout me We don't talk the way we used to talk; it's hurting so deep I've got my pride, I will not cry But it's making me weak (I'm not your "superwoman" I'm not the kind of girl that you can let down And think that everything's okay Boy, I am only human This girl needs more than occasional hugs As a token of love from you to me) I work my way through the rush hour tryin' to make it home safe to you I want to make sure that your dinner will be waiting for you But when you get there you just tell me you're not hungry at all You say you'd rather read the paper And you don't want to talk
(ARGH!!! Can't remember the next couple 'o lines!! Can someone help a "sista'" out? Anyone?)
I'm convinced I know the problem: you don't love me the same You're just goin' through the motions but you're not really there I've got my pride, I will not cry But I can't help but say (I'm not your "superwoman" I'm not the kind of girl that you can let down And think that everything's okay Boy, I am only human This girl needs more than occasional hugs As a token of love from you to me)
As always... PEACE... to you all!
