Before a thousand grasping hands
In a glaring light
She stands
Trying hard to meet demands
Everybody's girl
Defenseless more and more each time
Desecration is their crime
Vandalizing every rhyme
Everybody's pet
Becoming someone else outside
Hoping to protect and hide
What they smile at, then deride
Everybody's fool
Awaiting still some unknown sign
When she'll use her chance
Yo shine
How should she
Her life define?
“No one's woman yet”
