[Refrain] Tell me your secrets in spite of you
Tell me the terrible things you’ll do
And oh, my love, I won’t run from you
I will let you be you
You be you

[Instrumental Interlude] [Pre-Chorus] But if you shame me
Well, I could kill you
I could break you in two
I’m not faking
So don’t be mistaken
See I’ve much better things to do

[Chorus] Call me hysterical
I’m really quite fine
I’m a woman
And a woman knows her mind
I am strong, I won’t quit trying
And I’m running, no I won’t run blind
Why must I wait?
I see no line

[Refrain] Tell me your secrets in spite of you
Tell me the terrible things you’ll do
And oh, my love, I won’t run from you
I will let you be you
You be you
You be

[Instrumental Interlude] [Bridge] Does it bother you that I’m forward?
Well, I have a thoughtful mouth
While you spew sick intolerance
I’m afraid to leave my house

[Pre-Chorus] You can’t sign away my rights on a dotted line
I’m a woman and a woman knows her mind
When I’m gone, what will I leave behind?
The tracings of a world all mine
So your saddest crime
Would be to waste my time

[Refrain] Tell me your secrets in spite of you
Tell me the terrible things you’ll do
Tell me your secrets in spite of you
Tell me the terrible things you’ll do
