She listens to all around her
Smiles when need be
Nods in all the right places
Laughs just to be free
Skeletons in her cupboard
Seem a distant dream
They used to rule her life
Her fate had been mean
Lovers used and abused
Treated her so cruel
She let them all do it
Without knowing she's a fool
One day she'd had enough
She wanted more now
Life had not been good
She would change that somehow
She now knows how
To be a woman of today
You have to grab hold of life
Never letting anyone get in your way
