Chaka Khan - The Woman I Am lyrics

Hey sister

I never knew which way to go

Everybody had an answer

So I said

Go lecture someone, go lecture someone

I could feel it in my heart babe

I couldn't scream, I couldn't shout

I had to find out in my own way

Ran into someone - ran into someone

I'll be the woman I am

Now I don't have to hide

All that I feel inside

I'll be the woman I am

Just had to let it show

Had nowhere else to go

I had to learn to trust myself

I had to learn just when to say no

Always trying to please someone else

I had to let go, I had to let go

The world is filled of many wonders

I had to look to heaven for my own

I saw the star that I was unter

Lord lead me back home, lead me back home

I'll be the woman I am

Now I don't have to hide

All that I feel inside

I'll be the woman I am

Just had to let it show

Had nowhere else to go

I can look at myself and I'm not afraid

I have finally learned how to love

I can feel everything that I've never felt

And I'm sure now that I've always known
