you think I wouldn't have him
  unless I could have him by the balls
  you think I just dish it out
  you don't think I take it at all
  you think I am stronger
  you think I walk taller than the rest
  you think I'm usually wearing the pants
  just 'cause I rarely wear a dress
    well...
    when you look at me
  you see my purpose,
  see my pride
  you think I just saddle up my anger
  and ride and ride and ride
  you think I stand so firm
  you think I sit so high on my trusty steed
  let me tell you
  I'm usually face down on the ground
  when there's a stampede
    I'm no heroine
  at least, not last time I checked
  I'm too easy to roll over
  I'm too easy to wreck
  I just write about
  what I should have done
  I just sing
  what I wish I could say
  and hope somewhere
  some woman hears my music
  and it helps her through her day
    'cause some guy designed
  these shoes I use to walk around
  some big man's business turns a profit
  every time I lay my money down
  some guy designed the room I'm standing in
  another built it with his own tools
  who says I like right angles?
  these are not my laws
  there are not my rules
    I'm no heroine
  I still answer to the other half of the race
  I don't fool myself
  like I fool you
  I don't have the power
  we just don't run this place
