When Would You Take My Say
WHEN WOULD YOU ALL TAKE MY SAY
In traditional modern home I’m a daughter
I’m told what I should do, what I should wear
I haven’t grown up yet, I have to tamely obey
When would you all take my say?
To parents I’m a burden they don’t like to carry
Decide how soon and whom I should marry
Disgracing the family I shouldn’t find my way
When would you all take my say?
Me as his equal my husband would never see
Decides what kind of home maker I should be
He can wander around but I shouldn’t stray
When would you all take my say?
In the closing years when I see the end not far
Children move out, think I’m a failed mother
I’d take the pain with me when I fade away
When would you all take my say?
