Barbra Streisand - The Woman In the Moon lyrics
[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 and 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
Now little sister and 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
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 and 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
Now little sister and 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
