Butterfly Woman Lyrics by Chic Gamine

0

Butterfly woman, only talk is cheap
So I'll show you how to walk and I'll give you the beat
Butterfly woman took me by the hand
She said first you're gonna have to learn to stand
Learn to stand, mmm

Butterfly woman said listen to me
I'll give you everything you need to live free
Butterfly woman said here is the truth
What don't make you still will help you move
Help you move, will help you move

And then she said hey ya, oh, hey ya, hey ya
Hey ya, oh, hey ya, hey ya
Hey ya, oh, hey ya, hey ya
Hey ya, oh

So many people here just talk the talk
Try to know when to love and know when to walk
Coming here you know I've seen it all
What don't make you strong will make you fall
Will make you fall, will make you fall

In this life I am the one that chose
The only way to change is by growing old
What I am to you may look weak
I'm as strong as the ground on which I sleep
On which I sleep, on which I sleep, oh oh oh

And then she said hey ya, oh, hey ya, hey ya
Hey ya, oh, hey ya, hey ya
Hey ya, oh, hey ya, hey ya
Hey ya, oh (oh, oh, oh)

Long ago before my hair turned gray
And my spine was bowed from the weight of days
Both my hips widened to bear the load
I thought that I could never grow old
But love has given me more, it seems
Than riches and worries that train and breed
And though my youth has wandered far and wide
These skinny old legs still don't break stride

Hey ya, oh, hey ya, hey ya
Hey ya, oh, hey ya, hey ya
Hey ya, oh, hey ya, hey ya
Hey ya, oh, hey ya, hey ya
Hey ya, oh, hey ya, hey ya
Hey ya, oh, hey ya, hey ya, oh oh oh oh oh
Oh, oh, oh oh....
