Now I'm a Woman
From Heartbreak to Wisdom: Now Embracing Womanhood
Lyrics
I've been hurt in love three times
I've experienced heartbreak in love three times
Once as a baby then as a lady
First, when I was a baby, and then when I became an adult woman
Now I'm a woman
Currently, I have reached a stage of maturity and self-awareness
As I child I loved so deep
During my childhood, I loved intensely
I remember crying myself to sleep
I recall crying myself to sleep
When Daddy left us all alone
My father left, leaving us alone
To make it by our self
We had to fend for ourselves
My Momma didn't have no help
My mother lacked support
Momma gave me any love but
My mother provided love, but...
Just as sure as heavens above
Despite the love, it left a lasting impact
It left an ugly scar
Resulting in a visible emotional scar
On a young and innocent heart
On my young and innocent heart
Oh, such a baby bound to be a lady
Despite being a baby, destined to become a lady
I've been hurt in love three times
Reiteration of experiencing love's pain three times
Once as a baby (Once as a baby)
Highlighting the first heartbreak as a baby
Then as a lady (Then as a lady)
Highlighting the second heartbreak as an adult
Now I'm a woman
Reiterating that the speaker is now a mature woman
Time passed by, I went to school
Time passed, and I went to school
I met a guy I thought
I met a guy whom I believed was perfect for me
Was made especially for mе
Expressing a sense of special connection
Oh, how I loved him
Expressing deep love for the person
I thought the whole world of him
Admiring and thinking highly of him
Why hе broke my heart
Reflecting on the pain of a broken heart
I guess I'll never know
Acceptance of not understanding why the heartbreak occurred
I just didn't seem to fit into his plans
Feeling incompatible with his plans
Oh, such a lady my Momma's little baby
Despite being a lady, still perceived as Momma's little baby
I've been hurt in love three times
Reiteration of experiencing love's pain three times
Once as a baby (Once as a baby)
Recalling the initial heartbreak in infancy
Then as a lady (Then as a lady)
Recalling the second heartbreak as an adult
Now I'm a woman
Reaffirming the current state of womanhood
Now that I am old enough
Now that I am mature, I seek understanding
I'll understand what good has done
Understanding the lessons that life has taught
And I'll be lucky if I can find
Hopeful of finding genuine love in the future
One true love in my lifetime
Expressing the desire for a single true love
Lord, I'll be doing just fine
Confident that life will be fulfilling with true love
I've been hurt in love three times
Reiteration of experiencing love's pain three times
Once as a baby (Once as a baby)
Recalling the initial heartbreak in infancy
Then as a lady (Then as a lady)
Recalling the second heartbreak as an adult
Now I'm a woman
Emphasizing the current state of womanhood
I've been hurt in love three times
Reiteration of experiencing love's pain three times
Once as a baby (Once as a baby)
Recalling the initial heartbreak in infancy
Again as a lady (Then as a lady)
Experiencing heartbreak again as an adult
Now I'm a woman
Affirming the current state of womanhood
