Woman

When you hurt me
I chose not let it bruise me
Get through to me
Because that is what you wanted

So stop trying to own me
I'm not your property
In fact I'm not yours at all
I hope that makes you feel small

Cause I'm a strong woman
And I'm not gonna be told I'm nothing
By a man
Who's pretending to be loving
And I'll be damned if I let a man like you ruin
Who I wanna become
I know you'd like to think you are
But you're not that strong

And when you hurt the ones I love
You didn't think you'd done enough
So you carried on
Did it make you feel strong
Now I know the truth is
That you're not a man at all

Cause I'm a strong woman
And I'm not gonna be told I'm nothing
By a man
Who's pretending to be loving
And I'll be damned if I let a man like you ruin
Who I wanna become
I know you'd like to think you are
But you're not that strong

Cause you don't get to treat my family
Like some toys
That you once enjoyed
But now all the parts don't work anymore
So they bore you

That doesn't mean get to treat people like they're nothing
Cause we're all something to somebody
Does who you are make you feel happy

Cause I'm a strong woman
And I'm not gonna be told I'm nothing
By a man
Who's pretending to be loving
And I'll be damned if I let a man like you ruin
Who I wanna become
I know you'd like to think you are
But you're not that strong

Cause I'm strong woman
And now you're nothing
To me
