I'm A Woman, Too
Ben Lee · The Rebirth of Venus [2009]
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.
