Sometimes a woman is an island
C                         F
Sometimes a woman stands alone
 Am                              Am
'Cause they'll turn her joy into sorrow
    G                           G
And she knows her grief is her own

Sometimes a woman is a bell
       F                        F
She'll make you the sweetest of music
      Am                    Am
But inside she's rattling around
           G                      G
Back and forth, her insides, she abuses

Sometimes a woman is a girl
    F                       F
She needs to feel she has a future
     Am                        Am
That someone is taking care of her
      G                            G
Has a kiss for her scrapes and her sutures

And she'll stand far away on her own
               Am
You'll need to hold your breath
                         Am
Meet her right where she is
G                   G
Show her that she's not alone...
