Baby Velvet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well I'm sick of my choices being examined under a microscope
There is no point, in denying, regretting, I've got to let it go
Cause I'm a woman and I'm a dreamer
And I got plans and I believe in me
Oh I am hopeful and I am loving
And I am proud of the person I'll be
A love letter for the first time
To myself and to those I adore
I hate that it took so long to get here
But m not waiting anymore
I am thinking that I know better now
And not make mistakes I've made before
Every day I walk this earth
I'm learning and I'm burning up to learn more
To my mother, I adore you, to my sisters
To the women who walked before
I am hopeful and I am open
And I am proud of what we're walking towards
A love letter for the first time
To myself and to those I adore
I hate that it took so long to get here
But I ain't not waiting anymore
And I don't hold it against you
And I don't think we're to blame
And I promise to protect you
And ill always call out your name
I'm a woman, I'm a dreamer
I'm a lover and I believe in me
Oh I am hopeful and I am open
And I am proud of the person I'll be
A love letter for the first time
To myself and to those I adore
I hate that it took so long to get here
But I ain't not waiting anymore

But I ain't not waiting anymore
But I am no longer waiting for things to happen
