I don't want to be a star I don't want to talk through glass
I don't want to check my appearance in your eyes
I don't need a million bucks baby it don't take much
I don't need to play the princess all the time
I want to be a real woman changing every day
I want to be a real woman real in every way I want to be a real woman
I don't want to be admired I don't want to take my smile
I don't want to use my charm to disarm you
You don't have to spin your wheels oh baby I know how that feels
You don't have to pass some test just to impress me
I want to be a real woman...
Real is how I deal with what I deal with
Real is how I feel when I know how I'm feelin'
[ guitar ]
I don't want to be a man I just want to be what I am
I don't want to hide my light so yours keeps shining
If you don't want to face the truth then you're not gonna like what I do
You're not gonna make or break me so don't start trying
I want to be a real woman...
