Not a Child

I used to be pretty
I used to be sweet
I always felt like the world looked at me
I wore a dress and I didnt care
Oh of the danger in an older man's stare
I used my body like I was breaking the law
I am a lady and I am a whore
I wanted to be the prize that they won
Was always the loser when morning would come

Time can be bitter as the wind
I'm getting that older and not that thin
It's been coming on strong for a while
I am a woman now
I'm not a child
I am a woman now
I'm not a child

Boys and men and some in between
Made me feel worthless turning me mean
Hung me all up
Used me to dry
Tried to soften my edges and blur all my lines
It took me a turn or two till I took the wheel
I lied and a I cheated and I learned how to steal
Now I'm not the object of all of their eyes
I wear my guard like a gold badge of pride

Time can be bitter as the wind
I'll never let its ticking hands win
It's been coming on strong for a while
I am a woman now
I'm not a child
I am a woman now
I'm not a child

Time can be bitter as the wind
I'll never let its mean old hands win
It's been coming on strong for a while
I am a woman now
I'm not a child
I am a woman now
I'm not a child

Now I am happy with the person I am
I hold the heart of the gentlest man
He loves my mind
My body
My soul
He looks at me like I'll never grow old
