If I have a daughter

If I have a daughter, I'd make her watch Erin Brockovich
A strong forceful woman, an idol.
If I have a daughter, I'd make her read Why Men Love Bitches.
A useful compilation of controversial advices and tips.
And if I have a daughter, I'd make her listen to Gloria Gaynor.
A good song about false hope and rising from pitfalls.

"At first I was afraid
I was petrified
I kept thinking that I could never live without you by my side,
But then I spent so many nights,
Just thinking how you did me wrong,
And I grew strong,
And I learnt how to get along.

And so you're back from outer space,
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face,
I should have changed that stupid lock,
I should have made you leave your key,
If I'd known for just one second,
you'd be back to bother me.

Go on now go, walk out the door,
Just turn around now cause you're not welcome anymore,
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye,
Did you think I'd crumble,
Did you think I'd lay down and die.

Oh no, not I
I will survive,
As long as I know how to love,
I know I'll stay alive,
I've got all my life to live,
And I've got all my love to give,
And I'll survive.

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart,
And trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart,
And I spent oh so many nights,
Just feeling sorry for myself,
I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high.

You'll see me, as somebody new,
I'm not that chained up little person who's still in love with you,
And so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free,
But now I'm saving all my loving,
For someone who's loving me."
