You're a Woman Now

Just lie down and slip off your shoes
Go on and cry, there's nothing to lose
There's no-one to blame no, nobody at all
And the price that you're paying
Is really quite small for the freedom you have
You're a woman now

The kids that you miss
And that you once knew
Always expected too much of you
Never a moment of peace
Just to think
Finally drove you over the brink
To the freedom you have
You're a woman now

Sure there are days when
You sit and you wonder
Am I really right?
You had to get out
Before you went under
But that doesn't seem too late
And those dark cold nights
When he'd hold you tight
Now that bed seems too empty
The groceries too light

But that was the old life
This is the new
There's no-one's wife
Now there's just you
Mostly it's worth it
But once-in-a-while
You can't help remembering
The way that he smiled
And you wish to yourself
There was some other way
Ooh, you're a woman now.
