|
I was warned as a child of thirteen |
|
Not to act too strong |
|
Try to look like you belong bur don't push girl |
|
Save your time and trouble |
|
Don't misbehave |
|
I was raised in a "No You Don't World" |
|
Overrun with rules |
|
Memorize your lines and move as directed |
|
That's an age old story |
|
Everybody knows that's a worn out song |
|
But you and I are changing that tune |
|
We're learning new rhythms from the woman |
|
I said the woman in the moon |
|
Little sister, little brother |
|
Keep on pushin' |
|
Don't believe a word about |
|
Things you heard about |
|
Askin' too much too soon |
|
'Cause they can hold back the tide |
|
But they can never hold the woman in the moon |
|
I believe there's a best of both worlds |
|
Mixing old and new |
|
Recognizing change is seldom expected |
|
As I long suspected |
|
They believed that strange was a word for wrong |
|
Well not in my song |
|
'Cause you, you and I are changing that tune |
|
We're learning new rhythms from that woman in the moon |
|
Little sister, little brother |
|
Keep on pushin' |
|
Don't believe a word about |
|
Things you heard about |
|
Askin' too much too soon |
|
'Cause they can hold back the tide |
|
But they can never hold the woman |
|
I said the woman in the moon... |
