WOMEN
Eunice Janine Lyrics

Women
Addressing the subject of women, specifically strong and independent ones

You say you couldn’t handle us
Addressing those who believe they cannot handle strong and independent women

Strong and independent, my ladies
Emphasis on the strength and independence of women

You don’t know a thing ‘bout us
Challenging the notion that people truly understand strong, independent women

Women
Reiteration of addressing the subject of strong and independent women

You really couldn’t handle us
Reiteration of addressing those who cannot handle strong and independent women

What do you think of me
Questioning how others perceive the author

Responsibility
Emphasis on the author's sense of responsibility

Hate to break it to ya
Acknowledging the need to inform the listener of something

But I’m my own royalty
Emphasis on the author's autonomy and self-worth

You wanna go
Addressing the listener's desire to leave or break up

It’s up to you
Giving agency to the listener to make their own choice

Can’t deal with no bullshit
Setting a clear boundary of not tolerating nonsense

You do what you do
Encouraging the listener to be their own person

I’mma do me
Emphasis on the author's independence and self-determination

Well, in fact I could be in a movie
Acknowledging the potential for the author's life to be a movie-worthy story

Where the main character is me
Emphasis on the author's leading role in her own life

This isn’t what I asked for
Acknowledging a situation or relationship that is not desired

Boy I could live without you
Emphasis on the author's ability to live without the listener

Now you wanna give me more
Addressing the listener's attempt to give more when it is not wanted

But who said that I need you
Questioning the assumption of the listener's necessity

You and your opinions
Addressing the listener's opinions

Keep it to yourself
Demanding that the listener refrain from expressing their opinions

Do you need more attention
Questioning the listener's desire for attention

Go talk to someone else
Suggesting the listener talk to someone other than the author

I ain’t got no time
Emphasis on the author's limited time

You just don’t run out of excuses
Addressing the listener's tendency to make excuses

Excuse me, I’m busy minding my own business
Asserting the author's focus on her own business

Boy, it’s the ex for me
Acknowledging that the listener is an ex and no longer relevant

How could you possibly
Questioning the listener's ability to do something

Miss the whole point of it
Expressing frustration with the listener's lack of understanding

It’s the toxicity
Calling attention to the negative traits of the listener

It’s the insanity
Calling attention to the irrational behavior of the listener

Manipulating me
Addressing the listener's attempt to control the author's actions or emotions

With insincerity
Calling out the listener's lack of genuineness

It’s all these things for me
Emphasis that the listener's negative traits are too much to handle

I could go on and on
Acknowledging the ability to continue listing negative traits

But I choose to move on
Emphasis on the author's decision to move forward and leave the listener behind

But just because I am done
Acknowledgment that the author has moved on from the situation or relationship

Don’t make me less of a strong woman
Assertion that the author's strength remains despite moving on from the listener or situation

Woman
Final reiteration of the song's overall theme of strong and independent women
