Lyrics

[Intro: Spoken] Do you know what, when I sing this song, it's deep, yeah? When I heard the statistic, I actually fucking broke down in tears Because the stat is that one in four men, men and women Will experience this in their lifetime And in a beautiful sold-out Royal Albert Hall There's a quarter of you here tonight So I know I'm not alone when I sing this, and yeah If you can relate to this, I'm so fucking sorry from the bottom of my heart And I'ma sing for you right now with my whole heart With my belly out and everything And I wanted to do it like this bеcause that's how it fucking feels when I sing it I feel naked as fuck Alright, Tom, I'm rеady, mmh [Verse 1] So, this producer hit me up on the DM He told me, "Hey, I really like what you are doing" He told me, "Come 'round to the studio, let's cook it" He told me, "Come to catch a vibe, we'll make some music" But when I got there, should've heard what he was saying Tryna touch me, tryna fuck me, I'm not playing I should have left that place as soon as I walked in it How Goddamn dare you do that to me, really? [Pre-Chorus] Coming like the ice cream man Till I felt his ice-cold hands And how I pay the price now, damn Goddamn, no, what the? Goddamn Everything you did, it left me in a ruin And no, I didn't say a word, I guess that proves it I'm a woman, mhh, yes [Chorus] 'Cause I'm a woman A very fucking brave, strong woman And I'll be damned if I let a man ruin How I walk, how I talk, how I do it Man, I've been broken for a moment I've been through it, no It's even harder to be brave alone I was a girl, now I'm grown, I'm a woman A very fucking strong woman [Verse 2] And I was seven Was twenty one, was seventeen and was eleven It took a while to understand what my consent means If I was ruthless, they'd be in the penitentiary But all the stress of being honest wouldn't help me I pushed it down, but it was livin' in me rent-free And then I fell into some things that were unhealthy A place where no one heard me asking them to help me But I needed help, I did [Pre-Chorus] Coming like the ice cream man Till I felt his ice-cold hands And how I pay the price now, damn Goddamn Everything you did, it left me in a ruin And no, I didn't say a word, I guess that proves it I'm a woman [Chorus] 'Cause I'm a woman A very fucking brave, strong woman And I'll be damned if I let a man ruin How I walk, how I talk, how I do it Man, I've been broken for a moment I've been through it, no It's even harder to be brave alone I was a girl, now I'm grown, I'm a woman [Bridge] I wish I could say how I feel, how I felt And explain why I'm silently blaming myself 'Cause I put on these faces, pretending I'm fine Then I go to the bathroom and I press rewind in my head Always going round and round in my head Your fingerprints stuck a stain on my skin You made me frame myself for your sin You pathetic, dead excuse of a man [Outro] You see, I'm a brave, fucking strong woman Oh, yeah, yeah, oh, oh, oh I sometimes need to remind myself, I am You see And I'll be damned if I let a men ruin, oh I'm a very fucking brave, strong woman, thank you
