REAL WOMAN
(Rodney Crowell / Rosanne Cash)


Rosanne Cash - 1990





I don't want to be a star, I don't want to talk through glass
I don't want to check my appearance in your eyes
I don't need a million bucks, baby, it don't take much
I don't need to play the princess all the time
I want to be a real woman, changing every day
I want to be a real woman, real in every way
I want to be a real woman

I don't want to be admired, I don't want to fake my smile
I don't want to use my charm to disarm you
You don't have to spin your wheels, oh baby, I know how that feels
You don't have to pass some test just to impress me
I want to be a real woman, changing every day
I want to be a real woman, real in every way
I want to be a real woman

Real is how I deal with what I deal with
Real is how I feel when I know how I'm feelin'

I don't want to be a man, I just want to be what I am
I don't want to hide my light so yours keeps shining
If you don't want to face the truth, then you're not gonna like what I do
You're not gonna make or break me ,so don't start trying
I want to be a real woman, changing every day
I want to be a real woman, real in every way
I want to be a real woman
