Trip-Hop Reconstruction Lyrics

i'm so tired of playing
playing with this bow an arrow
gonna give my heart away
leave it to the other girls to play
for i've been a temptress too long
give me a reason to love you
give me a reason to be a woman
i just wanna be a woman
from this time unchained
we're all looking at a different picture
through this new frame of mind
a thousand flowers could bloom
move over and give us some room
give me a reason to love you
give me a reason to be a woman
i just wanna be a woman
so don't you stop being a man
just take a little look
from outside when you came
so a little tenderness
no matter if you cry
give me a reason to love you
give me a reason to be a woman
i just wanna be a woman
so i wanna be is a woman
for this is the begining of forever and ever
it's time to move over
for a soul i wanna be
i'm so tired of playing
playing with this bow and arrow
gonna give my heart away
leave it to the other girls to play
for i've been a temptress too long
give me a reason to love you
give me a reason to be a woman

i'm so tired of playing 
playing with this bow an arrow
gonna give my heart away
leave it to the other girls to play
for i've been a temptress too long
give me a reason to love you
give me a reason to be a woman
i just wanna be a woman
from this time unchained
we're all looking at a different picture
through this new frame of mind
a thousand flowers could bloom
move over and give us some room
give me a reason to love you
give me a reason to be a woman
i just wanna be a woman
so don't you stop being a man
just take a little look 
from outside when you came
so a little tenderness 
no matter if you cry
give me a reason to love you
give me a reason to be a woman
i just wanna be a woman
so i wanna be is a woman
for this is the begining of forever and ever
it's time to move over
for a soul i wanna be
i'm so tired of playing
playing with this bow and arrow
gonna give my heart away
leave it to the other girls to play
for i've been a temptress too long
give me a reason to love you
give me a reason to be a woman

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
