I cried in the kitchen when I heard she had gone
They've been firing up the children
And we're back to square one
You wrote it in a letter, just to help me perceive
That it's hard to be the woman that they want you to be

So just say the words, it's your time to shine
So just say the words, it's your time to shine

So kick me in the cradle, and count me to ten
I've been starring in a fable about insecure
Men we are, we're a dissonant breed
I will give you the space if you want me to leave

So just say the words, it's your time to shine
So just say the words, it's your time to shine
So just say the words, it's your time to shine

A writer for sure, she's all dungarees
She'll be writing some more, so let her in peace
In seven years, you really showed me life's on the line
So just do what you do and then we'll take our time

So just say the words, it's your time to shine
So just say the words, it's your time to shine
So just say the words, it's your time to shine
