Big Wide World

He says I just sing leaving songs, I never let him hold me long, I know he speaks a truth I can’t deny… Well, I just don’t know how to be the woman that he needs from me, While I find a way of living my own life. ‘Cause there’s a big wide world turning round, And I can’t stop or slow it down. So I’ll just hold on tight and I’ll take a ride on this Big Wide World turning round. He thinks I should jump at the chance to give myself all to romance, But there’s part of me that he can’t understand. ‘Cause I’ve never dreamed of being tamed and I wasn’t born to change my name, It’s nothing I would ask of any man. Now for 40 years we’ve had this conversation; I can’t believe that it’s still happening to me! Every time I must provide an explanation…As a woman who is happy being free…Yeah that whole thing just don’t seem right to me!
