Second Best


You'll always be second best You'll always be just a pretty face You'll always be someone to be seen, not heard They tell me what I am, they say who I should be "Women shouldn't think, that's not what they're for." They think that they control me, they think that I will listen But I am a woman, I am strong I am a woman I will carry on They can push me down, but I won't fall. Not now, not ever.
