[Verse 1]
I don't expect you to understand
You can't imagine how I'm feeling
I can't admit it to myself
So where would I even begin?
[Hook]
Cause I'm a proud woman
I must be proud, woman
And I am strong woman
I must be strong, woman
[Verse 2]
It's too painful to even think about
So it would kill me to say it out loud
All this time I thought I'd worked it out
So if you don't mind, I'll leave it for now
[Hook 2]
And stay a proud woman
I must be proud, woman
Cause I am strong, a woman
I can't be a mad woman
[Verse 3]
I have analyzed every single inch of my skin
And comparisons I can't seem to break in my daily routine
I find myself obsessing imperfections that only I can see
And I know it's such a waste, but the pressure is getting to me
I don't expect you to understand
[Chorus]
You'd never know what it's like to be a woman
You'd never know what it's like to be a girl
You'd never know what it's like to be a woman
You'd never know what it's like to be a girl
Girl, girl, girl, why?
[Verse 4]
Should my intellect be judged by perceptions of what I should be?
And who says that it's right? We must stop looking skin deep
It's so young that it starts, expectations are too far to reach
We lose control
And you say that it's fine, maybe that's because you don't want to see
I don't expect you to understand
[Chorus]
You'd never know what it's like to be a woman
You'd never know what it's like to be a girl
You'd never know what it's like to be a woman
You'd never know what it's like to be a girl
Girl, girl, girl
Girl, girl, girl
