lyrics

“You’re Not Every Woman”
Polly
EVERY WOMAN HAS HER OWN MYSTIQUE,
IT’S UP TO HER TO EXPLORE IT.
EVERY WOMAN KNOWS HER OWN PHYSIQUE,
ALTHOUGH SHE’LL TRY TO IGNORE IT.
EVERY WOMAN HAS A BODY PART,
SHE’LL GLADLY TRADE FOR ANOTHER,
EVERY DAUGHTER HAS A DIFFERENT PLACE,
SHE WISHED SHE DIDN’T LOOK LIKE HER MOTHER.
EVERY WOMAN HAS A DEEP DESIRE,
AND THERE’S NO REASON FIGHT IT?
EVERY WOMAN HAS AN INNER FIRE,
IT’S UP TO HER TO IGNITE IT.
EVERY WOMAN IS A PIECE OF WORK,
IT’S UP TO HER TO CREATE IT.
EVERY WOMAN IS WORK OF ART,
YOU CAN EITHER LOVE IT OR HATE IT!


BOYS
BUT YOU’RE NOT EVERY WOMAN.
EVERY WOMAN’S UNIQUE.
SO HOW CAN ANY WOMAN
FOR EVERY WOMAN SPEAK?
POLLY
I MAY BE JUST ONE WOMAN
BUT I’M A WOMAN WITH A VOICE.
AND I’M RAISING IT NOW
TO EXERCISE MY FREEDOM OF CHOICE.

EVERY WOMAN HAS A RIGHT TO CHOOSE,
AND THERE’S NO REASON TO HIDE IT.
IF IT’S A LOVER OR A PAIR OF SHOES,
IT’S UP TO HER TO DECIDE IT.
EVERY GAL APPLIES A SPECIAL FACE,
BEFORE SHE GOES INTO ACTION.
EVERY WOMAN HAS A SPECIAL PLACE,
SHE TRAVELS TO ACHIEVE SATISFACTION.
BOYS
BUT YOU’RE NOT EVERY WOMAN.
EVERY WOMAN’S UNIQUE.
SO HOW CAN ANY WOMAN
FOR EVERY WOMAN SPEAK?
POLLY
I MAY BE JUST ONE WOMAN
BUT I’M A WOMAN WITH A VOICE.
AND I’M RAISING IT NOW,
TO EXERCISE MY FREEDOM OF CHOICE.

EVERY DAME DESERVES A SWEET RELEASE,
IT’S UP TO HER TO ACHIEVE IT.
IT’S NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND SOME PEACE,
BUT FIRST YOU’VE GOT TO BELIEVE IT.
AND WHEN WE’RE LOOKING FOR A MAN TO LOVE,
TRUST YOUR OWN INTUITION
BEFORE YOU EVEN STOP TO DROP A GLOVE-
YOU’VE GOT HIM IN A STATE OF SUBMISSION.

NO, YOU’RE NOT EVERY WOMAN.
WE’RE ALL ONE OF A KIND.
AND EACH AND EVERY WOMAN
WAS BORN TO SPEAK HER MIND.
SO DON’T LET ANYBODY
TELL YOU WHAT SHE TO DO.
YOU MAKE THE CHOICE
OR THE CHOICE’LL BE MADE FOR YOU.
MAKE THE CHOICE,
OR THE CHOICE’LL BE MADE FOR YOU.

EVERY WOMAN HAS HER OWN MYSTIQUE,
IT’S UP TO HER TO EXPLORE IT.
