I lost but I did not lose the lesson,
|
I was so lonely there at the top of my mountain,
|
And I can be the Joan of Arc of courage,
|
But with one touch of lust I crumbled in his arms.
|
|
Maybe I don't understand what it takes to make it last,
|
It doesn't help when little girls are pushed too far and too damned fast,
|
They grow up to be the woman dancing in a cage,
|
And learning too late the acquiescing turns to rage.
|
|
There's somethin' I've gotta say,
|
Somethin' I've gotta say,
|
Somethin' I've gotta say,
|
Somethin' I've gotta say.
|
|
What I love is also what I hate.
|
This music kills me then forces me to stand up straight,
|
So don't confuse positivity for naA?vetAⓒ,
|
The great ones walked through hell to become that way.
|
|
And oh my God the tests get harder,
|
My love and I are torn apart,
|
Why do I feel I must choose between my music and my heart,
|
|
Futile pressure running on this hamster wheel,
|
I will walk down the path of motherhood I feel.
|
|
There's somethin' I've gotta say,
|
Somethin' I've gotta say,
|
Somethin' I've gotta say, say, say, say.
|
|
All my life I strove to be the first one in my family to achieve,
|
Grab a hold of that glass ring [?]
|
When money's so empty, the road will leave you lonelier.
|
And I'm lonely, I'm sold [?]
|
I learned the lesson laid in life then love forgive me. [?]
|
|
There's somethin' I've gotta say,
|
There's somethin' I've gotta say,
|
There's somethin' I've gotta say,
|
In my life, in my time, I'm talking about it.
|
There's somethin' I've gotta say, say, say, say.
|
|
And today's gonna be my day.
