When Do I Get to Be a Woman

Sarah Johnson


When do I just get to be a woman
Sip some wine and do my nails
Bubble bath 'til the candles melt
All week long I'm everything else

When do I just get to be a woman
Break from all this reality
That's what every tired girl needs
When do I just get to be a woman

I make our bed, his lunch
I put my make-up on while I run by the daycare
I kiss her cheek, then I'm gone
Punch a clock, then I'm home to more work waitin' there
I fold and mop, I'm never through
And I don't mind but if this job's on weekends too

When do I just get to be a woman
Shop for shoes and real tight jeans
Pamper myself just like a queen
When do I just get to be a woman

God knows I'm thankful, I don't mean to whine
There's just some days when I could use a break
A little Sarah time

So when do I just get to be a woman
A longneck night in a real short dress
Make him stare like we just met
Take him home and then take his breath

When do I just get to be a woman
Break from all this reality
You girls know what I mean
When do I just get to be a woman
A woman
