A Woman's Worth

A Woman's Worth
They say we are
impossible to figure out
Man constantly wondering
what we are all about

Sometimes we smile
when they watch us walk
Other times we're sultry,
stubborn and even balk

It's been thousands of years
my male counterparts
but the truth is we are
easy to figure out
we think with our hearts

We believe we must
carry the world on our shoulder
And the more that is put
on us we seem to grow bolder

So I would say to you
oh strong ones, stop trying
to figure us out,
just love us so deep
and trust us, without doubt

Otherwise, my friend, you see
you will end up in complete
and utter misery...
