Sui Zhen – Being A Woman lyrics

All alone

When I woke up
This is what they showed me

Until you learn
Nobody else will show you how (Show you how)
And when you're all alone (All alone)
That's a perfect time to work it out (Work it out)

Being a woman
Being a woman
You have to hold yourself
Being a woman
Being a woman
Before you hold someone else

You gotta hold onto yourself now
Hold on to yourself (You have to hold on)
Gotta be good to you
Before you love somebody else
You gotta hold on to yourself now
Hold on to yourself (You have to hold on)
Gotta be good to you
Before you love someone

Until you learn
Nobody else will show you how (Show you how)
And when you're all alone (All alone)
That's a perfect time to work it out (Work it out)

Being a woman
Being a woman
You have to hold yourself
Being a woman
Being a woman
Before you hold someone else

And when I came here
This is what they told me
"Girl, you don't need to do that
You have a voice, so sing"
But I wanted to do more than sing
If I'm a girl, a girl grown up
There are things we're supposed to do

What will become of my sexuality? (When I)
What is this naked underneath? (I)
What will become of my sexuality? (I see clearly now)
What is this naked underneath?

And when I grew up I thought I had to be
Somebody's mother or somebody's daughter
I thought I had to do it all by myself
Thought I had something to prove (Something to prove)
That I needed no one else
I didn't need no you (Didn't need no you)
Well, I thought I had to do it all by myself
Thought I had something to prove (Something to prove)
That I needed no one else
And I didn't need no you (Didn't need no you)
Well, I spent a long time to find you (Oh)
I spent a long time to please (Oh, oh)
Where does it leave you now? (Hey)
Where does it leave you now? (Hey, yeah)
I spent a long time to find you (Oh)
I spent a long time to please (Oh, oh)
Where does it leave you now? (Hey)
Where does it leave you now?

Being a woman
Being a woman
You have to hold yourself
Being a woman
Being a woman
Before you love someone else

You gotta hold on to yourself now
Hold on to yourself (You have to hold on)
Gotta be good to you
Before you love somebody else
You gotta hold on to yourself now
Hold on to yourself (You have to hold on)
Gotta be kind to me
Before you love someone

Hold my love
Hold my love
Hold my love

Who am I supposed to be? (Hold my love)
(Hope you'll show me how)
Do you show me how to live?
Redefine sexuality (Hold my love)
(Hope you'll show me how)
That's how I'll find my way
(Hope you'll show me how)
Who am I supposed to be? (Hold my love)
(Hope you'll show me how)
Can you show me how to live?
Redefine sexuality (Hold my love)
That's how I'll find my way
(Hold, hold my love)

(Hold my love)
Enough
(Hold my love)
I see clearly now
All alone

When I woke up
This is what they showed me

Until you learn
Nobody else will show you how (Show you how)
And when you're all alone (All alone)
That's a perfect time to work it out (Work it out)

Being a woman
Being a woman
You have to hold yourself
Being a woman
Being a woman
Before you hold someone else

You gotta hold onto yourself now
Hold on to yourself (You have to hold on)
Gotta be good to you
Before you love somebody else
You gotta hold on to yourself now
Hold on to yourself (You have to hold on)
Gotta be good to you
Before you love someone

Until you learn
Nobody else will show you how (Show you how)
And when you're all alone (All alone)
That's a perfect time to work it out (Work it out)

Being a woman
Being a woman
You have to hold yourself
Being a woman
Being a woman
Before you hold someone else

And when I came here
This is what they told me
"Girl, you don't need to do that
You have a voice, so sing"
But I wanted to do more than sing
If I'm a girl, a girl grown up
There are things we're supposed to do

What will become of my sexuality? (When I)
What is this naked underneath? (I)
What will become of my sexuality? (I see clearly now)
What is this naked underneath?

And when I grew up I thought I had to be

Where does it leave you now? (Hey)
Where does it leave you now?

Being a woman
Being a woman
You have to hold yourself
Being a woman
Being a woman
Before you love someone else

You gotta hold on to yourself now
Hold on to yourself (You have to hold on)
Gotta be good to you
Before you love somebody else
You gotta hold on to yourself now
Hold on to yourself (You have to hold on)
Gotta be kind to me
Before you love someone

Hold my love
Hold my love
Hold my love

Who am I supposed to be? (Hold my love)
(Hope you'll show me how)
Do you show me how to live?
Redefine sexuality (Hold my love)
(Hope you'll show me how)
That's how I'll find my way
(Hope you'll show me how)
Who am I supposed to be? (Hold my love)
(Hope you'll show me how)
Can you show me how to live?
Redefine sexuality (Hold my love)
That's how I'll find my way
(Hold, hold my love)

(Hold my love)
Enough
(Hold my love)
I see clearly now
(Hold my love)
Now I
I see clearly now

Who, who am I supposed to be, hey?
Who am I?
