Only a Woman

My heart is low My heart is so low As only a woman's heart can be Only a woman's only a woman's Only a woman's heart can know. My heart is low, loaded, locked and vault heavy with questions for the queens that came before me, Querying sugar and spice and everything that should have been nice, Blow up in nasty surprises and womanhood has been such a disguise with none of the prizes How will we get by this? We always survive this, we stumble, fall but like Venus we keep rising. It's like they love you, they leave you and then they hate you It's like a glass ceiling that you can never break through Now you're tell me your hurtin' and I say me too My love my love my love My heart is low My heart is so low As only a woman's heart can be Only a woman's only a woman's Only a woman's heart can know. She can be whatever she puts her mind to, mind you, She can reach deep down and create life too, She can plant these seeds, tend these weeds, cultivate, change pace, make this a safe space. So on ordinary days when the glass is always full won't be taken for a fool The one you confide in, love to hide in, then told to relax, even pack it in, Forgetting this woman is heaven sent. It's like they push you away when your getting closer And you keep running and running but getting nowhere And there's a million mountains to move over My love my love my love My heart is low My heart is so low As only a woman's heart can be Only a woman's only a woman's Only a woman's heart can know. I want to be loved like my heart belongs to a newborn,soft and pure. I want to be cared for like I'm precious sparkling with a gleam. I want to be held like many women haven't been, tender and oh so, sweet I want to be known like all of us care to be absolutely fully seen. My heart is low My heart is so low As only a woman's heart can be Only a woman's only a woman's Only a woman's heart can know.
