Hard To Be A Woman

Hard To Be A Woman Lyrics

Oh, it's a curse
But what worse is the sorrow
Of the shadow that haunts my life (Heaven knows)
I'd be the last to complain
But this feeling remains
That somehow I just don't feel at all, sort of...

Behind my back, I can hear them all laughing
Alone at home it makes me depressed
So I'll scrape off my makeup
Kick off my high heels
And slip sadly out of my dress

Oh, it's hard, so hard to be a woman
But I'm doing the best that I can
Oh, it's hard, so hard to be a woman
When you're trapped in the body of a man

Well, I was short changed at the counter
And my husband cannot understand
How the wife he married in a pure wedding gown
Turned out to be the best man

In this grand game of cards that we're playing
I got a bad hand, so it seems
The cards were stacked
And I got the Jack
When I should've be dealt the Queen

Oh, it's hard, so hard to be a woman
But I'm doing the best that I can
Oh, it's hard, so hard to be a woman
When you're trapped in the body of a man

Oh, it's hard, so hard to be a woman
But I'm doing the best that I can
Oh, it's hard, so hard to be a woman
When you're trapped in the body of a man
