Seems to me, no matter what I do
I pick the wrong time to do it
In a minute I will be alright
If you will let me think it through
I could comb my hair and walk right out of here so fast
Let the silence tell you that I’ve grown up at last
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
CHORUS:
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
YOU’LL NEVER BREAK THE WOMAN IN ME
‘THOUGH YOU MIGHT BREAK THE SMILE
YOU’LL NEVER HURT THE WOMAN IN ME
BUT YOU MIGHT HURT THE CHILD
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Can I help it if it feels good
To have your arms wrapped around me
When you touch me I’m a little girl
And there’s so much that I still need
Give me room to touch my own heart -- I’m not so weak
I could fly away and leave you with a kiss on the cheek
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
REPEAT CHORUS
