The Woman in The Moon — текст песни (Barbra Streisand)

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
