What do women want?

Sovereignty of will?

Charge over her own fate -

The power to run, or lie very still.

What do women want?

To love and be loved?

Her heart shared by many -

Taking as many forms as heaven above.

What do women want most?

What will win?

Well, with nothing else to do -

Let us begin.

The woman in the kitchen

is an idea outdated.

She pursues worthier goals -

Love is over-rated.

What is life without love?

What worthier pursuit?

Life is a journey,

and without love, it is moot.

What journey?

There's no life without choice.

The caged heart doesn't sing,

she has no reason to rejoice.

No reason at all?

That's kind of sad.

Do you want to debate,

or just make me mad?

But what are the paths of life

without love to walk with you?

No one to care for,

no one to miss you.

There is much to be said for independence,

but if she is barren and lonely,

where is the joy

in serving the one and the only?

Life doesn't have to be a desert

but who says it has to be watered down?

Why get rid of the court,

just cuz' she's wearing the crown?

And she could have love,

then have it snatched away!

Who would choose this?

What a cruel price to pay!

There are risks

in any path you choose.

Will she not run the race

because she might lose?

Is there love that doesn't change?

Does she really have control?

Does the heart beat of its own free will,

or is it just playing its role?

Love and power, joy and fate -

Maybe it's all an illusion!

Enough of this,

let's have a conclusion.

Finally!

I've had enough from this font.

What say you judge?

What do women want?

What do women want?

Well that I couldn't say.

They tell me I'm just a girl -

Who has yet to find her way.
