Letra de Somethin' I've Gotta Say

I lost but I did not lose the lesson
I was so lonely there at the top of my mountain
And I can be the Joan of Arc of courage
But with one touch of lust I crumbled in his arms

Maybe I don’t understand what it takes to make it last
It doesn’t help when little girls are pushed too far and too damned fast
They grow up to be the woman dancing in a cage
And learning too late the acquiescing turns to rage

There’s somethin’ I’ve gotta say
Somethin’ I’ve gotta say
Somethin’ I’ve gotta say
Somethin’ I’ve gotta say

What I love is also what I hate
This music kills me then forces me to stand up straight
So don’t confuse positivity for naïveté
The great ones walked through hell to become that way

And oh my God the tests get harder
My love and I are torn apart
Why do I feel I must choose between my music and my heart

Futile pressure running on this hamster wheel
I will walk down the path of motherhood I feel

There’s somethin’ I’ve gotta say
Somethin’ I’ve gotta say
Somethin’ I’ve gotta say, say, say, say

All my life I strove to be the first one in my family to achieve
Grab a hold of that glass ring (?)
When money's so empty, the road will leave you lonelier
And I'm lonely, I'm sold (?)
I learned the lesson laid in life then love forgive me. (?)

There’s somethin’ I’ve gotta say
There's somethin' I've gotta say
There's somethin' I've gotta say
In my life, in my time, I'm talking about it
There's somethin' I've gotta say, say, say, say

And today's gonna be my day
