UR A WMN NOW

Stars litter the sky
The moon is shining high

This soft, september night
Two lovers creep out of sight

A maiden dressed in white
With copper hair

Restless for adventure
She don't care

That the wolf is in disguise
She's been ensnared

He got the devil in his eyes
& stylish flair

He shoves her to the ground
Her soul begins to drown

A sky full of eyes where the stars should be
A sky full of eyes watching silently

You're a woman now
You've become a women now

The weight of the cradle has broken the bough
You've become a woman now

Mama woke me up at dawn
She helped me get my best dress on

She braided flowers in my hair
So sweet was the summer air

I'm to meet my groom down by the sea
A perfect stranger to correct me

The judges arrive in pairs of 3
Don't be scared, just relax & breathe

Good girls hold real still
Surrender your free will

They cracked the crown
To pluck the pearl

Here, on the jagged edge
Of the world

You're a woman now
You've become a woman now

The weight of the cradle has broken the bough
You've become a woman now

Standing on the welfare line
My daughter clinging to my side

I see the faith in her eyes
I whisper, baby we will be fine

I'll get a good job
& we'll find a new place

I'll work real hard
& we'll make our escape

I promise you I will get us through
Together we will bloom

You're a woman now
You've become a woman now

The weight of the cradle has broken the bough
You've become a woman now

You're a woman now
You're a woman now
You're a woman now
