I was warned
As a child of thirteen
Not to act too strong
Try to look like you belong
But 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
In movies directed
That's an age-old story
Everybody knows
That's the one I've sung
Whoah you and I
Have chang-ed that tune
Well hello there
No rhythms for the woman
I said the woman in the moon
Little sister
And little brother
Keep on pushing
Don't believe a word about
Things you've
Heard about asking
Too much too soon yeah
'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 so unexpected
As I long suspected
They believed that ''strange''
Was a word for ''grown''
Well that is my song
'Cause you
You and I are changing
We're changing that tune
Well hello there
No rhythms from that
Woman in the moon
Now little sister
And little brother
Keep on pushing
Don't believe a word about
Things you've
Heard about asking
For too much too soon
Yeah yeah yeah
'Cause they can
Hold back the tide
But they can never hold a woman
I said a woman in the moon
