lyrics

I don’t want to be a woman
Cause I don't want to be a mess
Some things happen so fast.

To meet a day after another
I’ve been doing my best
But some things happen so fast.

There’s an awful lot of time when the day begins to climb
And I’ve wasted all the light in a daze to just get by

How do we hold on to our beginnings?
Conversations that all end in question marks…

Is it happening yet?

I don’t want to be a woman
I don't want to be a mess
Some things happen so fast.

To meet a day after another
I’ve been doing my best
But some things happen so fast.

I’ve been laying down the losses
And counting up the costs of a life I thought I wanted
But is it all so grand?

How do we hold on to our beginnings
Conversations that all end in question marks…

Is it happening yet?

I don’t want to be a woman
I don't want to be a mess
Some things happen so fast.

To meet a day after another
I’ve been doing my best
But some things happen so fast.

I don’t want to be a woman
I just want to be human.
