The Kick Inside
Written by Kate Bush
- Hey there, you lady in tears,
- Do you think that they care if they're real, woman?
- They just take it as part of the deal.
- Lost in your men and the games you play.
- Trying to prove that you're better, woman.
- But you needn't get heavy with them.
- Like it or not, we were built tough,
- Because we're woman.
- No, we never die for long,
- While we've got that little life
- To live for, where it's hid inside.
- No, we never die for long,
- Oh! Woman, two in one,
- There's room for a life in your womb, woman,
- Inside of you can be two, woman,
- There's room for a life in your womb, woman,
- Mama woman, aha!
- Night after night in the quiet house,
- Plaiting her hair by the fire, woman,
- With no lover to free her desire,
- How long do you think she can stick it out?
- How long do you think before she'll go out, woman?
- Hey! Get up on your feet and go get it, now.
- Like it or not, we keep bouncing back,
- Because we're woman.
- No, we never die for long,
- While we've got that little life
- To live for, where it's hid inside.
- Oh! Woman, two in one,
- There's room for a life in your womb, woman,
- Inside of you can be two, woman,
- There's room for a life in your womb, woman,
- Mama woman, aha!
- A-mama-woma-mama-woman-aha!
- A-mama-woma-mama-woman-aha!
- Oh, mama-woman, two-in-a-one, aha!
- Oh, two in one, aha!
- Oh, woman! Woman! Woman! Woman!
- There's room for a life in your womb!
- There's room for a life in your womb!
- Two in one, aha!
- Two in one! Two in one! Two in one!
- Room for a life in your womb.
