After a triumph as the ball?
What depressed her;
could've possessed her?
I cannot understand the at all.

Eternally noble, historically

Why a woman be like that?

Ready to buck you up you are glum.
Why can't a be a chum?
Why is thinking something women do?
Why is logic never tried?
Straightening up their hair is all ever do.
Why don't straighten up the mess that's inside?
Why can't a woman like a man?
If I was a woman been to a ball,
Been hailed as a princess by one and by
Would I start weeping like a bathtub
And on as if my home were in a tree?
Would I run off and never tell me I'm going?
Why a woman be like me?
