You'll always be second best
You'll always be just a pretty face
You'll always be someone to be seen, not heard
They tell me what I am, they say who I should be
"Women shouldn't think, that's not what they're for."
They think that they control me, they think that I will listen
But I am a woman, I am strong
I am a woman
I will carry on
They can push me down, but I won't fall.
Not now, not ever.
