Family Woman

I spend my whole life changing
Like the weather
Some days I wanna be
Like everyone

Come home from my job
In time for dinner
Watch a little TV
And be done

You say I'll change my mind
And think this over
And love the thought
Of kids and minivans

Though my life may be
No bed of clover
I'm happy with exactly
Where I stand

No don't take it personal
There's nothing wrong
With just the way you are

Please don't think
I'm being rude
It just ain't written in the stars

I want the bigger things in life
That I don't know how to get
I've only seen the figures
Of a perfect life with kids

Maybe I'm not gunning for that
I hope you'll understand
I'll never be a family woman
Cause that's just not who I am

I'll never be a family woman
Cause that's just not who I am

When I'm on the road
I'm my own company
You don't understand
The life I lead

I never have to worry
Bout somebody
When by myself I'm all
I'll ever need

I take no time with
Thinking on decisions
If I'm awake then
I am doing as I please

It's not like I'm not open
To revision
As long as I feel freedom
In the breeze

No don't take it personal
I like to watch you
Walking from afar

Please don't think
I'm being rude
It just ain't written in the stars

I want the bigger things in life
That I don't know how to get
I've only seen the figures
Of a perfect life with kids

Maybe I'm not gunning for that
I hope you'll understand
I'll never be a family woman
Cause that's just not who I am

I'll never be a family woman
Cause that's just not who I am
