Testo: Paul Williams. The Woman In The Moon.

I was warned as a child of thirteen
Not to act too strong
Try to look like you belong but don't push girl
Save your time and trouble
Don't misbehave

I was raised in a "No You Don't World"
Overrun with rules
Memorize your lines and move as directed
That's an age old story
Everybody knows that's a worn out song

But you and I are changing that tune
We're learning new rhythms from the woman
I said the woman in the moon
Little sister, little brother
Keep on pushin'
Don't believe a word about
Things you've heard about
Askin' too much too soon
'Cause they can hold back the tide
But they can never hold the woman in the moon

I believe there's a best of both worlds
Mixing old and new
Recognizing change is seldom expected
As I long suspected
They believed that strange was a word for wrong
Well not in my song

'Cause you, you and I are changing that tune
We're learning new rhythms from that woman in the moon
Little sister, little brother
Keep on pushin'
Don't believe a word about
Things you've heard about
Askin' too much too soon
'Cause they can hold back the tide
But they can never hold the woman
I said the woman in the moon
