I´M NOT A GIRL, NOT YET A WOMAN

Britney Spears

The reason why I´ve chosen this song is because it show the changes that all women have in their lives. The singer says that she is not a little girl but she doesn´t feel like a woman yet. In my opinion, what she says is what all teenagers think and it´s a song to have into account.

SISTERS ARE DOING IT FOR THEMSELVES

Aretha Franklin and Annie Lennox

I have chosen this song because I think it helped people to understand that the society was changing and that women should have the same rights as men. I believe that the combination of Aretha Franklin and Annie Lennox (from Eurythmics) is perfect to make this song have a lot of rhythm and strength. So, I just recommend you to listen to it.

Lyrics and Music

Read the lyrics and listen to the song

I´m not a girl, not yet a woman

Sisters are doing it for themselves

I used to think
I had the answers to everything
Mm but now I know
that life doesn't always go my way. yeah
Feels like Im caught in the middle
Thats when I realize

Im not a girl
Not yet a woman
All I need is time
A moment that is mine
While Im in between
Im not a girl

There is no need to protect me
Its time that I
Learned to face up to this on my own
Ive seen so much more than you know now
So dont tell me to shut my eyes

Im not a girl
Not yet a woman
All I need is time
A moment that is mine
While Im in between
Im not a girl

But if you look at me closely
You will see it in my eyes
This girl will always find her way

Im not a girl
Im not a girl dont tell me what to believe
Not yet a woman
Im just tryin to find the woman in me, yeah
All I need is time
Whoa, all I need is time...
A moment that is mine
... thats mine
While Im in between
Im not a girl
Not yet a woman
Not now
All I need is time
A moment that is mine
While Im in between

Im not a girl

Ooooh, not yet a woman

Now, there was a time
when they used to say
that behind every great man,
there had to be a great woman.
But oh, in these times of change,
you know that it's no longer true.
So we're coming out of the kitchen,
'cause there's something we forgot to say to you.

Chorus
We say, Sisters are doing it for themselves,
standing on their own two feet
and ringing on their own bells.

Sisters are doing it
for themselves.

Now, this is a song to celebrate
the conscious liberation of the female state.
Mothers, daughters,
and their daughters too, woh yeah,
woman to woman,
we're singing with you.
The "inferior sex" has got a new exterior.
We got doctors, lawyers, politicians too,
ooh ooh ooh, ooh.
Everybody, take a look around.
Can you see, can you see, can you see,
there's a woman right next to you.

Chorus

Now we ain't making stories,
and we ain't laying plans.
Don't you know that a man still loves a woman,
and a woman still loves a man
just the same, though.
Ooh (x 7)
Sisters are doing it
for themselves.
There was a time,
oh, when they used to say
that behind every great man,
there had to be a great woman.
In these times of change,
you know that it's no longer true.
So we're coming out of the kitchen,
'cause there's something we forgot to say to you.

Chorus

Sisters are doing it
for themselves.
Sisters are doing it, doing it,
doing it, doing it, doing it, doing it…
Sisters are doing it for themselves,
uhhuh, uhhuh, yeah.
Sisters are doing it for themselves,
uhhuh, uhhuh, uhhuh, yeah.
Sisters are doing it
for themselves.
I say, yeah, yeah,
Sisters are doing it for themselves,
standing on their own two feet…
Sisters are doing it
for themselves (until the end).
