I'm A Woman, Too

Ben Lee · The Rebirth of Venus [2009]

Do do do do do do [x4]

It's true, it's true,

I'm a woman too,

I move with the flow of the seasons

I do, I do, cause I'm a woman too,

I don't make sense but I got my reasons,

So hear me roar

I will not be ignored

If you've ever had to fight, you're a sister of mine

If your heart's got something to prove

Then you're a woman too



It's here, it's clear,

This world can be unfair,

There's always someone being kept down

It's true, it's true cause I'm a woman too try to shut

me up and I'm gonna get loud



So hear me roar

If you've ever had to fight, you're a sister of mine

If your heart's got something to prove

Then you're a woman too

Are you a woman too?



The African,

He's a woman too

The American,

He's a woman too

The Palestinian,

He's a woman too

The Jew

He's a woman too

The freedom fighter

He's a woman too

The messiah

He's a woman too

This planet

It's a woman too

You,

You're a woman too

You're a woman too

You're a woman too



So hear me roar,

I will not be ignored

If you've ever had to fight you're a sister of mine

If your heart's got something to prove

Then hear me roar

I will not be ignored

If you've ever had to fight, you're a sister of mine

If your heart's got something to prove,

Then you're a woman too

You're a woman too

And I'm a woman too

And I'm a woman too

I'm A Woman, Too

Ben Lee's "I'm A Woman, Too" appears on his 2009 album The Rebirth of Venus, marking a significant evolution in his sound following his earlier indie-folk and rock era. The track exemplifies Lee's signature blend of acoustic instrumentation and introspective lyricism, characteristic of his work during the late 2000s. While his discography from the late 1990s and early 2000s, including albums like Breathing Tornados and Something to Remember Me By, established him as a key figure in the alternative music scene, this recording reflects a matured perspective on gender identity and self-expression. The song stands as a poignant addition to his catalogue, continuing the tradition of personal storytelling that defined his career without relying on explicit lyrical quotes.
