Women Like Me

Women Like Me

Lori Lieberman

I know a woman, the same as I
With blonde in her hair and blue in her eyes
There is a man who’s married to her
He says he loves me
I wonder

There is a woman, the same as I
Who loves with the shame and sees through the lies
If it is love that we’re asking for
Why can’t we believe we’re worthy of more

Oh women like me
We never let go
Women like me
And there will always be
Women like me

We share one life divided in three
For him and for her and a little for me
The rain it will freeze, the fire will burn
One heart it will ache, the other will yearn

Oh women like me
We never say no
Women like me
And he will always seek
Women like me

Secrets and promises, anger and blame
And every night the moon above us
Says he will change
And every time we think it’s over
It’s always the same
Always the same

Oh women like me
We never give up
Women like me
Women like me
And he will always leave
Women like me
