Lyrics
I feel a dagger turning in my heart
I don't even know where I can start
Can we wake up from this dream?
You want to be a woman
What can I do?
You want to be a woman
Can I love you?
I ... the way you were
You were the one thing of which I was sure
Now you wanna blow my mind
You want to be a woman
What can I do?
You want to be a woman
Can I love you?
I don't know if I can adapt to this
There are so many thing that I will miss
I guess I should let it go
You want to be a woman
Can I love you?
You want to be a woman
What can I do?
