SINEAD O'CONNOR
No Man's Woman


I don't wanna be no man's woman
it don't make me happy this man-trollin
thing that you got for me so I've become
no man's woman

I don't wanna be no man's woman
I've other work I want to get done
I haven't travelled this far to become
no man's woman
no man's woman

Cos I'm tired of it
and I'm so scared of it
that I'll never trust again
cos a man can fake you
take your soul and make you
miserable in so much pain

My friends think I'm alone but I got secrets
I don't tell everything about the love I get
I got a lovin man but he's a spirit
he never does me harm never treats me bad
he never takes away all the love he has
and I'm forgiven over a million times

I'm never tired or it
and I'm not scared of it
cos it doesn't cause me pain
cos a man can fake you
take your soul and make you
never be yourself again

I never wanna be no man's woman
I only wanna be my own woman
I haven't travelled this far to become
no man's woman
no man's woman
no man's woman
