Lyrics: "I Will ... But" - SheDaisy

I first heard SheDaisy on their Christmas album, and I had time to say "Wow!" before it became one of my year-round favorites. I describe them on this album as Not Your Mother's The Lennon Sisters on Megadoses of Estrogen. The vocal arrangements are rich and adventurous (to say the least); SheDaisy is a hard act to follow.

I just heard their "I Will ... But" (The Whole Shebang, 1999) and I like the lyrics, because it's what many women should say to men:

I won't be bored
I won't be ignored
Hey! [...]

I won't be your crutch to lean on
I won't wear stiletto heels
I won't walk a mile in your shoes
Just so I know how it feels

I won't be your obligation
I won't be your Barbie doll
I won't be the portrait of perfection
To adorn your wall

But I will, I will, I will be your everything
If you make me feel like a woman should
I will, I will, I will be the whole shebang
You know I will...
