Real Woman Lyrics

I don't want to be a star I don't want to talk through glass
I don't want to check my appearance in your eyes
I don't need a million bucks baby it don't take much
I don't need to play the princess all the time
I want to be a real woman changing every day
I want to be a real woman real in every way I want to be a real woman
I don't want to be admired I don't want to take my smile
I don't want to use my charm to disarm you
You don't have to spin your wheels oh baby I know how that feels
You don't have to pass some test just to impress me
I want to be a real woman...
Real is how I deal with what I deal with
Real is how I feel when I know how I'm feelin'

I don't want to be a man I just want to be what I am
I don't want to hide my light so yours keeps shining
If you don't want to face the truth then you're not gonna like what I do
You're not gonna make or break me so don't start trying
I want to be a real 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.
