just because i'm a woman

i can see you're disappointed

by the way you look at me

and i'm sorry that i'm not

the woman you thought i'd be

yes

i've made my mistakes

but listen and understand

my mistakes are no worse than yours

just because i'm a woman

so when you look at me

don't feel sorry for yourself

just think of all the shame

you might have brought somebody else

just let me tell you this

then we'll both know where we stand

my mistakes are no worse than yours

just because i'm a woman

now a man will take a good girl

and he'll ruin her reputation

but when he wants to marry

well

that's a different situation

he'll just walk off and leave her

to do the best she can

while he looks for an angel

to wear his wedding band

now i know that i'm no angel

if that's what you thought you'd found

i was just the victim of

a man that let me down

yes

i've made my mistakes

but listen and understand

my mistakes are no worse than yours

just because i'm a woman

no

my mistakes are no worse than yours

just because i'm a woman
