S.J. Tucker - A Woman's World lyrics

The first thing I remember Were the sweets my mother gave me The balls of herbs and honey That she'd give me when I cried She laughed a lot, my mother She was bright, and light, and silly And I remember how my Daddy smiled so much Before she died I like to think if she were here I'd be a little bolder I know she'd show me what to do Each year as I got older I like to think if she were here She'd never let me go And I want to do what she'd do – but I guess I'll never know CHORUS: I've never walked in a woman's world Where I can make my own choices If we could walk in a woman's world We'd have our own voices Have our own lives I'd be more than a daughter, a mother, a wife There's no one to show us What it's all about So I guess we'll just figure it out This woman's world The first thing I remember On the day I lost my father Was that everything was frightening And my mother shut me out She never came to find me Once her life was filled with others And I knew I couldn't ask her What those changes were about I'm not sure that every mother Is cut out for sweets and songs I know you think if yours were here She would have made you strong And she wouldn't pa** you over When a man required it so I'm glad you learned what that love was – I guess I'll never know CHORUS: I've never walked in a woman's world Where I can make my own choices If we could walk in a woman's world We'd have our own voices Have our own lives I'd be more than a daughter, a mother, a wife There's no one to show us What it's all about So I guess we'll just figure it out This woman's world
