Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Independent Woman lyrics

Lend me your ears dry up your tears And let's hear the cheers for the year of the independent woman You gotta break through this wall Take a stand never fall There may be one chance I know Take it now one final go Don't sit back stick on the track You watch your back but give a damn You've gotta be the one to keep it like that To keep it like that, to keep it like that Do what you have to do Say what you need to say Be what you want to be what you want to be Lend me your ears dry up your tears And let's hear the cheers for the year of the independent woman You gotta break from these chains You gotta make this your claim You know it's all down to you And we know who's to blame It's been tough gonna get rough You've had enough and you can tell You gotta think what you can do about that Can do about that, can do about that Do what you have to do Say what you need to say Be what you want to be what you want to be Lend me your ears dry up your tears And let's hear the cheers for the year of the independent woman Jede Frau ist Mutter, eine Mutter der Welt Wir alle bleiben ihre Kinder, weil es lebenslang hält Wir erschaffen und ernähren das was uns widerfährt Weil der Bauch alle Dinge gebährt Ist nur fair wenn du erfährst da** die Zeit alles nimmt Und nichts bleibt was du in dieser Welt geboren hast Es ist der Preis da** du erst weißt was Verlust heißt Nachdem du es verloren hast You gotta break through this wall Take a stand never fall There may be one chance I know Take it now one final go Let's hear the cheers for the year of the independent woman Let's hear the cheers for the year of the independent woman (fade out)
