about

A song about the difficulties of being a woman

lyrics

Verse 1
Well how’d you walk around in those high heels baby?
It sure looks hard to sustain
And how’d you keep a friendship with two faced ladies?
It looks so hard to maintain

Verse 2
Do you think they talk about you when you’ve left the room?
I wonder what do they say?
But your Mamma always said things are better left unsaid
It’s always been the same

Chorus
Don’t think about it girl just be yourself
You know that’s all you can do
I’ll tell you the words a wise man once said
All you can be is you........all you can be is you

Verse 3
Do you have to paint your face on when you go out to war?
couldn’t you just go unarmed?
do you really think you need it to get yourself a boy?
couldn’t you just use your charms?

Chorus

Verse 4
Well how’d you walk around in those high heels baby?
It don’t look good for your health
Do you do it for the boys or to compete with the ladies?
or is it just for yourself

Chorus
