[Chorus]

I'm every woman, it's all in me
Anything you want done, baby, I'll do it naturally (Mh-mh-mh)
I'm every woman, it's all in me
I can read your thoughts right now, every one from A to Z
Whoah whoah whoah (Whoah whoah)
Whoah whoah whoah

[Verse 1]

I can cast a spell
With secrets you can't tell
Mix a special brew
Put fire inside of you
But anytime you feel danger or fear
Instantly I will appear
'Cause...

[Chorus]

I'm every woman, it's all in me
Anything you want done, baby, I'll do it naturally
Whoah whoah whoah
Whoah whoah whoah

[Verse 2]

I can sense your needs
Like rain on to the seeds
I can make a rhyme
Of confusion in your mind
And when it comes down to some good old fashioned love
That's what I've got plenty of
'Cause...

[Chorus]

I'm every woman, it's all in me
Anything you want done, baby, I'll do it naturally
I'm every woman, it's all in me
I can read your thoughts right now, every one from A to Z
Whoah whoah whoah (Whoah whoah)
Whoah whoah whoah

[Bridge]

I ain't braggin' cause I'm the one
You just ask me, uh, and it shall be done
And don't bother to compare
'Cause I've got it (I've got it)
Whoah whoah whoah (Whoah whoah)
Whoah whoah whoah
Aah, aah, aah, aah

[Outro]

I'm every woman, I'm every woman
(Tell 'em all about it, child)
I'm every woman, I'm every woman
(Wanna really tell 'em all... about it)
I'm every woman, I'm every woman
(Want 'em to know, want 'em to know that...)
I'm every woman, I'm every woman
I'm every woman, I'm every woman
I'm every woman, I'm every woman
I'm every woman, I'm every woman
I'm every woman, I'm every woman
I'm every woman, I'm every woman
I'm every woman, I'm every woman

Not about women specifically but relatable to me and empowering.

“This Is Me”

I am not a stranger to the dark
"Hide away," they say
"'Cause we don't want your broken parts"
I've learned to be ashamed of all my scars
"Run away," they say
"No one'll love you as you are"

But I won't let them break me down to dust
I know that there's a place for us
For we are glorious

When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown 'em out
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I'm meant to be, this is me
Look out 'cause here I come
And I'm marchin' on to the beat I drum
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me

I associate this song with a certain memory.

Halsey - Nightmare

"Come on, little lady, give us a smile"
No, I ain't got nothin' to smile about
I got no one to smile for, I waited a while for
A moment to say I don't owe you a goddamn thing…

Tori Amos - Spark

If the divine master's plan is perfection
(Swing low)
Maybe next I'll give Judas a try
(Swing low, sweet chariot)
Trusting my soul to the ice cream assassin
Here, here, here…

Tori Amos - Icicle

Corinne Bailey Rae - Put Your Records On

The lyrics to this Japanese pop song "Please don't say you are lazy!" translated into English sound like a good song of expression for high school girls living in Japan's conservative patriarchal society.

Sia - Bird Set Free

The main theme from the Italian horror film Phenomena



I feel like this was an interesting kind of feminist film, or at the very least it was sympathetic to the main character who was dealing with bullies and unfriendly teachers at a girl's boarding school in Europe far away from her home in the US. Plus the whole thing with the local serial killer prowling arounr that wanted her dead, and her strange gift (or at times a curse) for being able to communicate telepathically with insects that never seem to sting or bother her.

This movie kind of reminded me of Stephen King's "Carrie". A girl with unusual powers who gets treated badly by almost everyone.

I loved Mariah Carey when I was a kid and this song in particular although I didn’t really understand it at the time.

Mariah Carey - Hero

I feel like I should say something about this song, but sometimes there aren’t words.
