I'M A WOMAN
Maria Muldaur
(Jerry Leiber & Mike Stoller)
I can wash out forty-four pairs of socks
And have them hangin out on the line
I can starch and iron two dozen shirts
Before you can count from one to nine
I can scoop up a great big dipper
Full of lard from the drippin's can
Throw it in the skillet, go out and do my
Shopping and be back before it melts in the pan
'Cause I'm a woman
Double U O M A N
I'll say it again
I can rub and scrub till this old house
Is shinin like a dime
Feed the baby, grease the car and
Powder my face at the same time
Get all dressed up, go out and swing
Till four a.m. and then
Lay down at five, jump up at six
And start all over again
'Cause I'm a woman
Double U O M A N
I'll say it again
If you come to me sickly, you know
I'm gonna make you well
If you come to me hexed up,
You know I'm gonna break the spell
If you come to me hungry,
You know I'm gonna fill you full o' grits
If it's lovin' you're lackin, I'll kiss you
And give you the shiverin fits
'Cause I'm a woman
Double U O M A N
I'll say it again
I can stretch a greenback dollar bill
From here to kingdom come
I can play the numbers, pay my bills
And still end up with some
I got a twenty dollar gold piece says
There ain't nothin I can't do
I can make a dress out of a feedbag
And I can make a man out of you
'Cause I'm a woman
Double U O M A N
I'll say it again
'Cause I'm a woman
Double U O M A N
And that's all
I'm Tired
Savoy Brown
A Step Further
Chris Youlden-Chrysalis Music Ltd.
I'm tired of being a fool
And my mind going from hot to cool
And trying to conform to others ideas
And someone else's rules
The life I'm living ain't mine
I'm supposed to feel that's fine
I didn't make the world I'm living in
And I ain't gonna toe the line
I'm tired of trying to be something I know ain't me
I'm tired of living up to what people expect me to be
You know some people are different
Now ain't that a crying shame
Now wouldn't be a real drag if we were all the same
And I'm not going to try to please
Eyes that just don't see
If I get myself together
You'll have the blues not me
I'm tired of trying to be something I know ain't me
I'm tired of living up to what people expect me to be
You know some people are different
Now ain't that a crying shame
Now wouldn't be a real drag if we were all the same
And I'm not going to try to please
Eyes that just don't see
If I get myself together
You'll have the blues not me
You'll have the blues not me
You're A Better Man Than I
Yardbirds
(B. Hugg / M. Hugg)
Can you judge a man?
By the way he wears his hair?
Can you read his mind?
By the clothes that he wears?
Can you see a bad man?
By the pattern on his tie?
Well then, Mr., you're a better man than I,
Yeah, Mr., you're a better man than I,
Oh, Mr., you're a better man than I,
Yeah, Mr., you're a better man than I.
Could you tell a wise man,
By the way he speaks or spells?
Is this more important?
Than the stories that he tells?
And call a man a fool,
If for wealth he doesn't strive?
Well then, Mr., you're a better man than I,
Yeah, Mr., you're a better man than I,
Oh, Mr., you're a better man than I,
Yeah, Mr., you're a better man than I.
Can you condemn a man?
If you're faith he doesn't hold?
Say the color of his skin,
Is the color of his soul?
Could you say that men,
For king and country all must die?
Well, Mr., you're a better man than I,
Yeah, Mr., you're a better man than I,
Oh, Mr., you're a better man than I,
Yeah, Mr., you're a better man than I
Don't Cry Out Loud
Melissa Manchester
Baby cried the day the circus came to town
'Cause she didn't like parades just passing by her
So she painted on a smile and took up with some clown,
While she danced without a net upon the wire
I know a lot about her
Cause you see,
Baby is an awful lot like me.
We don't cry out loud,
Just keep it inside
And learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall
Remember you almost had it all.
Baby saw that when they took the big top down
They had left behind her dreams among the litter
And the different kind of love she thought she'd found
It was nothing more than sawdust and some glitter
But Baby can't be broken,
'Cause you see,
She had the finest teacher
That was me.
Don't cry out loud,
Just keep it inside
And learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall
Remember you almost had it all.
I told her

Here comes Dick
He's wearing a skirt
Here comes Jane
You know she's sporting a chain
Same hair revolution
Same build evolution
Tomorrow who's going to fuss
And they love each other so
Androgynous
Closer than you know
Love each other so
Androgynous
Well don't get him wrong
And don't get him mad
He might be a father
But he sure ain't a dad
She don't need
Advice that they send to her
She's happy with the way she looks
She's happy with her gender
And they love each other so
Androgynous
Closer than you know
Love each other so
Androgynous
Mirror image see no damage
See no evil at all
Cupie dolls and urine stalls
Will be laughed at the way
You're laughed at now
Now something meets boy
And something meets girl
They both are the same
They're overjoyed in this world
Same hair revolution, unisex, evolution
Tomorrow who's gonna fuss
And tomorrow Dick is wearing pants
Tomorrow Jane's wearing a dress
Future outcasts and a they don't last
And a today the people dress the way
That they please
The way they tried to do in the last century
And they love each other so
Androgynous
Closer than you know
Love each other so
Androgynous
Androgynous
Androgynous
Don't you get it
Androgynous
