The Woman In The Moon Lyrics - Barbra Streisand

I was warned as a child of thirteen 

Not to act too strong 

Try to look like you belong but don't push girl 

Save your time and trouble 

Don't misbehave 

I was raised in a "no you don't world" 

Overrun with rules 

Memorize your lines and move as directed 

That's an age old story 

Everybody knows that's a worn out song 

But you and I are changing that tune 

We're learning new rhythms from the woman 

I said the woman in the moon 

Little sister, little brother 

Keep on pushin' 

Don't believe a word about 

Things you heard about 

Askin' too much too soon

'cause they can hold back the tide 

But they can never hold the woman in the moon 

I believe there's a best of both worlds 

Mixing old and new 

Recognizing change is seldom expected 

As I long suspected 

They believed that strange was a word for wrong 

Well not in my song 

'cause you, you and I are changing that tune 

We're learning new rhythms from that woman in the moon 

Little sister, little brother 

Keep on pushin' 

Don't believe a word about 

Things you heard about 

Askin' too much too soon 

'cause they can hold back the tide 

But they can never hold the woman 

I said the woman in the moon
