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
