When I was young, I wanted to be Jon
It wasn?t hard, short hair, no curves to speak of
I could do things I couldn?t do as Jen
Ride bikes with boys, kiss girls and make some noise
verse 2
I grew to be a young lady
Catholic Girls School, will try to do that to you
Never fit in, to love was to live in sin
So I stood out, I was born to let it out
This world, it wasn?t made for women
You know even before you bleeding
I?m sorry, can?t you hear me speaking?
How is it now, now that I?m screaming?
verse 3
I know, I am a strong woman
Never questioned my strength, it was passed on
Proud my mother wanted respect more than love
And her mother taught her that she could want for more
This world, it wasn?t made for women
You know even before you bleeding
I?m sorry, can?t you hear me speaking?
How is it now, now that I?m screaming?
verse 4
I know, I am a strong woman
Never questioned my strength, it was passed on
Proud my mother wanted respect more than love
Kia kaha, be proud, stay strong, go on
