I guess I have to be a lady Smiling and waving Constantly obeying I guess I need a prince To come and save me Even if I don't need saving I guess I must sit on a throne I don't own Raising the babies we made all alone I guess as a lady there's just some things I'll never know But if I were a man I'd go to Japan Maybe swim in the Seine And learn to speak French I'd have the whole world in the palm of my hand I'd finally do what I could but I can't If I were a man Eloise, I must tell you something Tell me I've come to know of a woman who is with child Is it a lady or a maid? Songtexte It's a maid I didn't know one of your maids were married She's not married She's not married?! How can a woman come to be with child if she's not married?

I guess I have to go to banquets Banquets make me anxious Acting rather shameless I guess I need a gown Down past my ankles Doing up my hair in tangles I guess have to sit still and look pretty Dance 'til I'm proper dizzy Throw away the life that I've been missing But if I were a man I'd summer in Canne Maybe play in the sand And wear my own pants I'd have the whole world in the palm of my hand I'd finally fly far away from the nest If I were a man There'll be no ladies and lords Just the world to explore And I don't care if it's all blood and gore No extravagant balls or gentlemen calls And I don't give a rat if he's handsome and tall I don't want to settle and squawk Or never leave the nest for a delicate walk Oh-oh-oh-oh What if I, what if I want to fly? 'Cause if I were a man I'd go to Japan Maybe swim in the Seine And learn to speak French I'd have the whole world in the palm of my hand I'd finally do what I could but I can't If I were a man If I were a man I'd have the whole world in the palm of my hand I'd finally do what I could but I can't If I were a man Aus Songtexte Mania
