Who shall I be today
For I can be anybody I can
I have the freedom reign to roam
Am I a woman or a man
I operate under you noses
Leaving clues to who I am
Maybe it's in my character
Am I a woman or a man
Light or berry be I
Maybe sad because I need to be scanned
To many I am under your skin
Am I a woman or a man
So many of me are around
In deranged open game plan
But will you ever realise
Am I a woman or a man

I woke up this morning trying to remember who I am
To the mirror I looked, am I a woman or a man
Maybe I'm somebody else, just another in my head
Or am I who I am, in my mind I sometimes dread
I woke up this morning trying to remember who I am
Asking why my friends have decided to be in my little scam
All my life I've wondered just who the hell I am
Again to the mirror I looked, am I a woman or a man
I woke up this morning trying to remember who I am
My mind has invented another, being deceitful leads my sham
Maybe I'll find the clues for I to realise my tomorrows
And return the names to the graveyard, but I'll doubt I'll sorrow

I'm woman with fists;
a raspy voice heard,
steel eyes, cold and fierce
yet with soft skin,
so warm when held...
I'm a tougher woman you see.
People see me small-
a child inside-
weaker than a crispy leaf
of fall that dangles from
a tree...
But people not know, till
they make me defensive-
that I'm tougher than brick,
stronger than concrete-
I'm a tougher woman you see.
So don't haunt me, other ladies-
So don't leer me, other men-
I've got too much crap to take
when I've got work to be a lady.
There's trash that overfills the bucket,
and one dish too many in the sink.
I raise myself and its kind of hard-
I'm a tougher woman you see.
