Wise Woman

Another year still looking younger than my age

But that don’t matter, I’m told to lie about it anyway

'Cause you can’t get old and you can’t act young

Take another trip around the sun

If you wanna be wise woman

Another man not really listening to what I say

My education and his opinion ain’t the same

If you know what’s right don’t prove him wrong

Play nice, play house and play along

If you wanna be wise woman

CHORUS:

If I knew then what I know now

I wouldn’t stand there in that line, I’d be standing out

I’d sit pretty at the head of the table

I’d be a lady leading the way so another girl like me wouldn’t have to wait on time to be a wise woman

I’ve learned saying no, no it don’t make me weak

And turning a blind eye won’t hide what you don’t wanna see

Trust your heart and trust your gut

Work real hard and never give up

If you wanna be wise woman

CHORUS

Girl power shouldn’t come with a price, and you know I’m right

CHORUS

No girl should have to wait on time to be a wise woman

Be wise woman
