Composed by：Bloodpop/Mike Sabath/Rachel Keen
Arranged by：Pete Clements
Do you know what when I sing this song it's deep yeah
When I heard the statistic
I actually ******* broke down in tears
Because the stat is that one in four men men and women
Will experience this in their lifetime
And in a beautiful sold-out Royal Albert Hall
There's a quarter of you here tonight
So I know I'm not alone when I sing this and yeah
If you can relate to this
I'm so ******* sorry from the bottom of my heart
And I'ma sing for you right now with my whole heart
With my belly out and everything
And I wanted to do it like this
Because that's how it ******* feels when I sing it
I feel naked as ****
Alright Tom I'm ready mmh
So this producer hit me up on the DM
He told me"Hey I really like what you are doing"
He told me"Come 'round to the studio let's cook it"
He told me"Come to catch a vibe we'll make some music"
But when I got there should've heard what he was saying
Tryna touch me tryna **** me I'm not playing
I should have left that place as soon as I walked in it
How Goddamn dare you do that to me really
Coming like the ice cream man
Till I felt his ice-cold hands
And how I pay the price now damn
Everything you did it left me in a ruin
And no I didn't say a word I guess that proves it
I'm a woman mhh yes
'Cause I'm a woman
A very ******* brave strong woman
And I'll be damned if I let a man ruin
How I walk how I talk how I do it
Man I've been broken for a moment
I've been through it no
It's even harder to be brave alone
I was a girl now I'm grown I'm a woman
A very ******* strong woman
And I was seven
Was twenty one was seventeen and was eleven
It took a while to understand what my consent means
If I was ruthless they'd be in the penitentiary
But all the stress of being honest wouldn't help me
I pushed it down but it was livin' in me rent-free
And then I fell into some things that were unhealthy
A place where no one heard me asking them to help me
But I needed help I did
Coming like the ice cream man
Till I felt his ice-cold hands
And how I pay the price now damn
See everything you did it left me in a ruin
And no I didn't say a word I guess that proves it
I'm a woman
'Cause I'm a woman
A very ******* brave strong woman
And I'll be damned if I let a man ruin
How I walk how I talk how I do it
Man I've been broken for a moment
I've been through it no
It's even harder to be brave alone
I was a girl now I'm grown I'm a woman
I wish I could say how I feel how I felt
And explain why I'm silently blaming myself
'Cause I put on these faces pretending I'm fine
Then I go to the bathroom and I press rewind in my head
Always going round and round in my head
Your fingerprints stuck a stain on my skin
You made me frame myself for your sin
You pathetic dead excuse of a man
You see I'm a very ******* brave strong woman
Sometimes I need to remind myself I am
You see
And I'll be damned if I let a men ruin oh
'Cause I'm a very ******* brave strong woman thank you
