I Only Feel Like A Woman

Eve ate the apple, the original sin

Exiled humanity from the garden of Eden

God created Adam in the shape of his own

But crafted Eve from his own rib bone

Eve was deceived, she’s the one who fell victim

Adam couldn’t admit that the devil had tricked him

But she’s made from God, she’s a part of his essence

So in retaliation in pain God has blessed us

I only feel like a woman when femininity

And when to it my proximity

Had somehow ended up hurting me

When you look at me and it’s all you see

When between my legs is all I’ll be

That’s when I only feel like a woman

But did Eve play the role of which she’s suspected?

Or did Adam get to tell his story uncorrected?

Because when it comes down to the he’s versus she’s

I always seem to find myself down on my knees

Or if not on my knees then alone in his head

Daydreams and fantasies tucked in his bed

When I see him tomorrow and look in his eyes

It’s clear on his face and I’m never surprised

I only feel like a woman when femininity

And when to it my proximity

Had somehow ended up hurting me

When you look at me and it’s all you see

When between my legs is all I’ll be

That’s when I only feel like a woman

Did everyone get to choose motherhood?

Or were we just trying our best to be good

You give up a part of yourself to become her

You don’t stop until it’s six feet of dirt that you’re under

It’s a sacrifice we’ve been taught to want to make

But is perpetuating our existence a giant mistake?

If our line stops with us we protect her from pain

So he lies and he tells us it’s our duty to maintain

I only feel like a woman when femininity

And when to it my proximity

Had somehow ended up hurting me

When you look at me and it’s all you see

When between my legs is all I’ll be

That’s when I only feel like a woman

We aren’t God’s image we’re His extensions of hand

Responsible for the birth and creation of man

But when He plays with fire we’re the ones who get burned

And His image has abused and taken over our world

Not a consequence of weakness but because He’s afraid

His reflection is ugly and a price must be paid

So we face His wrath for His likeness unleashed

Because of a woman and a snake that could speak
