Lyrics
I'm so tired
Of playing
Playing with this bow and arrow
Gonna give my heart away
Leave it to the other girls to play
For I've been a temptress too long
Just

Give me a reason
To love you
Give me a reason to be
A woman

I just want to be a woman
From this time, unchained
We're all looking at a different picture
Through this new frame of mind
A thousand flowers could bloom
Move over, and give us some room, yeah

Give me a reason
To love you
Give me a reason to be
A woman

I just want to be a woman

So don't you stop
Being a man
Just take a little look
From outside when you can
Sow a little tenderness
No matter if you cry

Give me a reason
To love you
Give me a reason to be
A woman
I just want to be a woman

It's all I want to be
Is all woman
For this is the beginning
Of forever
And ever

It's time to move over
It's all I wanna be

I'm so tired
Of playing
Playing with this bow and arrow
Gonna give my heart away
Leave it to the other girls to play
For I've been a temptress too long
Just

Give me a reason, to love you
