I cried in the kitchen
When I heard she had gone
They've been firing up the children
And we're back to square one
You wrote it in a letter just to help me perceive
That it's hard to be the woman that they want you to be
So just say the words
It's your time to shine
So just say the words
It's your time to shine
So kick me in the cradle - and count me to ten
I've been starring in a fable about insecure... men
We are - we're a dissonant breed
I will give you the space if you want me to leave
So just say the words
It's your time to shine
So just say the words
It's your time to shine
So just say the words
It's your time to shine
A writer for sure
She's all dungarees
She'll be writing some more
So let her in peace
In seven years, you really showed me life's on the line
So just do what you do and then we'll take our time
So just say the words
It's your time to shine
So just say the words
It's your time to shine
So just say the words
It's your time to shine
