Barbra Streisand - The Woman In The Moon lyrics

I was warned as a child of thirteen Not to act too strong Try to look like you belong but don't push girl Save your time and trouble Don't misbehave I was raised in a "no you don't world" Overrun with rules Memorize your lines and move as directed That's an age old story Everybody knows that's a worn out song But you and i are changing that tune We're learning new rhythms from the woman I said the woman in the moon Little sister, little brother Keep on pushin' Don't believe a word about Things you heard about Askin' too much too soon 'cause they can hold back the tide But they can never hold the woman in the moon I believe there's a best of both worlds Mixing old and new Recognizing change is seldom expected As i long suspected They believed that strange was a word for wrong Well not in my song 'cause you, you and i are changing that tune We're learning new rhythms from that woman in the moon Little sister, little brother Keep on pushin' Don't believe a word about Things you heard about Askin' too much too soon 'cause they can hold back the tide But they can never hold the woman I said the woman in the moon
