Barbara Streisand The Woman In The Moon Lyrics

I was warned as a child of thirteen
Not to act too strong
Try to look like you belong but dont push girl
Save your time and trouble
Dont misbehave
I was raised in a no you dont world
Overrun with rules
Memorize your lines and move as directed
Thats an age old story
Everybody knows thats a worn out song
But you and I are changing that tune
Were learning new rhythms from the woman
I said the woman in the moon
Little sister, little brother
Keep on pushin
Dont believe a word about
Things you heard about
Askin too much too soon
cause they can hold back the tide
But they can never hold the woman in the moon
I believe theres a best of both worlds
Mixing old and new
Recognizing change is seldom expected
As I long suspected
They believed that strange was a word for wrong
Well not in my song
cause you, you and I are changing that tune
Were learning new rhythms from that woman in the moon
Little sister, little brother
Keep on pushin
Dont believe a word about
Things you heard about
Askin too much too soon
cause they can hold back the tide
But they can never hold the woman
I said the woman in the moon
