I'm a Woman (Meisha's Song)

Lyrics and Vocal Arrangements Written by Kamichi Jackson

for the novel K My Name Is Kendra

 

 

Why must you constantly compare me

to the girl I used to be

As if the woman that I am today

is somehow unsatisfactory

 

I try you know that I try to be

a woman of fortitude

of dignity

of quiet strength

a woman of grace

this woman's a queen

 

chorus

you think that I am just a child

but I'm not

I'm a woman

one day very soon you will realize

that I'm a woman

 

why so insistently remind me

of the way things used to be

does me no good to dwell in the past

been there done that it didn't last

 

I know you're not trying to be mean

but it hurts me just the same

'cause I know what you're thinking

 

(repeat chorus)
