Just Because I'm a Woman lyrics

I can see you're disappointed by the way you look at me

And I'm sorry that I'm not the woman you thought I'd be

Yes, I've made my mistakes, but listen and understand

My mistakes are no worse than yours just because I'm a woman

So when you look at me, don't feel sorry for yourself

Just think of all the shame you might have brought somebody else

Just let me tell you this, then we'll both know where we stand

My mistakes are no worse than yours just because I'm a woman

Now a man will take a good girl and he'll ruin her reputation

But when he wants to marry, well, that's a different situation

He'll just walk off and leave her to do the best she can

While he looks for an angel to wear his wedding band

Now I know that I'm no angel, if that's what you thought you'd found

I was just the victim of a man that let me down

Yes, I've made my mistakes, but listen and understand

My mistakes are no worse than yours just because I'm a woman
