The Woman In The Moon - Barbra Streisand

i was warned as a child of thirteen
not to act too strong
try to look like you belong bur 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 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 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...
