If they only knew what a women's body do
My body is my body that can't be controlled.
If they only knew what a woman's body do,
would they show they care?
If they didn't tread away abortions,
The government felt no emotion
How can we go through this motion?
Keep it? Am I ready for it?
What if it gets worse?
My health will take its toll
Living healthy is my goal
Being controlled or being punished
Because I am a woman wanting be my own
Sick and tired of being ignored
I am a woman who has rights
They have their hands tied
My body is my body that can't be controlled
If only I can tell them
