Barbra Streisand — The Woman In The Moon

[Verse 1] I was warned as a child of thirteen Not to act too strong Try to look like you belong but don't push girl Save your time and trouble Don't misbehave [Verse 2] I was raised in a "no you don't" world Overrun with rules Memorize your lines and move as directed That's an age old story Everybody knows that's a worn out song [Chorus] But you and I are changing that tune We're learning new rhythms from the woman I said the woman in the moon Little sister and little brother Keep on pushin' Don't believe a word about Things you heard about Askin' too much too soon [Post-Chorus] 'Cause they can hold back the tide But they can never hold the woman in the moon [Verse 3] I believe there's a best of both worlds Mixing old and new Recognizing change is seldom expected As I long suspected They believed that strange was a word for wrong Well not in my song [Chorus] 'Cause you, you and I are changing that tune We're learning new rhythms from that woman in the moon Now little sister and little brother Keep on pushin' Don't believe a word about Things you heard about Askin' too much too soon [Post-Chorus] 'Cause they can hold back the tide But they can never hold the woman I said the woman in the moon
