Great rendition of Barbie Girl

Maybe you had a phase for this one, too?

^ It was never my cup of tea although I’ve always liked Madonna.


This song isn’t just for women, but I like it.

Jordan Suaste - “Body”

I’m more than my body.
You can pack your things up, buh bye, just go

Body I’m more than my body
Don’t owe you
a thing, no not at all

I’m not a toy to play with
Not just a sight to see &
My mind’s worth its weight in gold…

Kailee Morgue - F**K U

He said you're only as good as you are when you are with me
So I hope you're no better, know better than to leave

I said hey you, with your world painted blue
I said f**k you, I was the brightest light you ever knew
And next time you call me, yelling on the phone
And I'll say f**k you and leave me alone

Great thread! My first post on WP, so please be kind...

Lene Lovich, I Say When

Well, I'm all revved up and ready, baby
You're a man and I'm a lady
But...
I say when to stop
Hey, I call the shots
Baby, I say when.

Well you look plenty good to me
You got plenty of energy
I know that you're big and strong
But I'm the boss, so don't go wrong.
I say when to stop
Hey, I call the shots
Baby, I say when.

Cool song! I’ve not heard that one before.

Welcome to WP!

"Man Smart, Woman Smarter"
Harry Belafonte made this famous as a calypso number. I first heard it on my after-school "I Love Lucy" reruns. But I like the gravitas of the Robert Palmer version best.



Let us put man and woman together
And see which one is smarter.
Some say men, but I say no
The women got the men like a puppet show

Ain't me, it's the people that say
The men are leading the women astray
But I say, it's the women today
Are smarter than the man in every way

A little boy sat down and cried
An old man passing asked him why
He said, I can't do what the big boys do
Old man sat down and he cried too

That's right, the women are smarter
That's right, the women are smarter
That's right, the women are smarter
Smarter than the man in every way

"I'm Still Standing" by Elton John becomes a song of Female Empowerment when Joni Mitchell, after recovering from a stroke, decides to IMPROVE on Reggie's version, right in front of him. With the composers' permission, she transformed it from pop-rock to jazz, and made the lyrics less bitter and more optimistic.

Elton John and Bernie Taupin:""The threats you made were meant to cut me down / And if our love was just a circus, you'd be a clown by now."

Joni Mitchell:"My life gets better for me every day / and I'm still standing while you just fade away."

^ That’s awesome!

A crucial breakup song for me.

Don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore
You lost the love I loved the most

I learned to live half alive
Now you want me one more time

Who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
Tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are?

I hear you're asking all around
If I am anywhere to be found
But I have grown too strong
To ever fall back in your arms

"Good as Hell" by Lizzo



Go on dust your shoulders off, keep it moving
Come now, come dry your eyes
You know you a star, you can touch the sky
I know that it's hard but you have to try
If you need advice, let me simplify

If he don't love you anymore
Just walk your fine ass out the door
I do my hair toss
Check my nails
Baby how you feelin'?
Feeling good as hell

Woo girl, need to kick off your shoes
Got to take a deep breath, time to focus on you
All the big fights, long nights that you been through
I got a bottle of Tequila I been saving for you
Boss up and change your life
You can have it all, no sacrifice
I know he did you wrong, we can make it right
So go and let it all hang out tonight

'Cause he don't love you anymore
So walk your fine ass out the door
And do your hair toss
Check my nails
Baby how you feelin'?
Feeling good as hell

Demi Lovato - Warrior

This is a story that I have never told
I gotta get this off my chest to let it go
I need to take back the light inside you stole
You're a criminal
And you steal like you're a pro'

All the pain and the truth
I wear like a battle wound
So ashamed, so confused
I was broken and bruised

Now I'm a warrior
Now I've got thicker skin
I'm a warrior
I'm stronger than I've ever been
And my armor, is made of steel, you can't get in
I'm a warrior
And you can never hurt me again

Out of the ashes, I'm burning like a fire
You can save your apologies
You're nothing but a liar
I've got shame, I've got scars
But I will never show
I'm a survivor
In more ways than you know

Someone already posted "I Will Survive" and "Respect," but here's another of that vintage.
Jean Knight "Mr. Big Stuff"

Meghan Trainor - NO

Kind of anthemic...
LeAnne Rimes, Life Goes On



Wish I knew then what I know now
You held all the cards and sold me out
Baby, shame on you, if you fool me once
Shame on me if you fool me twice
You've been a pretty hard case to crack
I should've known better, but I didn't, and I can't go back

Oh life goes on and it's only gonna make me strong
oh it's a fight And I really wanna get it right
where I'm at
It's my life before me
and this feelin' that I can go back

Megan Trainor Also, her "This is your Mother Speaking"
Demi Lovato - The same one who did the Dodd decision song? That's range! Sounds like Xtina Aguilara "Beautiful."
