Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We have to fight
We have to try
To get what we want
Men always tell us how
Show us how
Even though we know it all
We know it all
Cause they just can't accept
That women can contest
They can tear us down
But we will remain up up up
Cause we are strong
Independent
We own our world
Can't tell us what to do
Can't tell us what to do
Cause we are brave
Feerless
We own our bodies
No sir you can't touch me there
No sir you can't touch me there
No no no...
Us women
We're showing our light
Fighting the crimes
To get our freedom
To get our freedom
No, We won't let it slide
No more fear
Inside our minds
No we wont be kind
But they just can't accept
And think they know best
They will still tear us down
But we will remain up up up
Cause we are strong
Independent
We own our world
Can't tell us what to do
Can't tell us what to do
Cause we are brave
Feerless
We own our bodies
No sir you can't touch me there
No sir you can't touch me there
No no no...
Youre a girl you cant act like that
NO
You're a girl this job ain't for you
NO
You're a girl this Dress is too short
NO
Cause we are strong
Independent
We own our world
Can't tell us what to do
Can't tell us what to do
Cause we are brave
Feerless
We own our bodies
No sir you can't touch me there
No sir you can't touch me there
The lyrics to Calu's song "Women" is a powerful anthem celebrating the strength and independence of women. It speaks to the struggles women face in a society where they are often underestimated and undermined by men. The song emphasizes the need for women to fight for what they want and not let anyone dictate their actions or limit their potential.
The first verse highlights the constant condescension and patronizing behavior women face from men. It expresses how men always feel the need to instruct and guide women, even when women are perfectly capable of knowing and doing things themselves. The chorus asserts the resilience and determination of women, stating that despite the attempts to bring them down, they will remain strong and steadfast.
The second verse focuses on the societal pressure women face to conform and to be submissive. It tackles the issue of fear and the hesitation that can often hold women back. The lyrics reject the notion that women should be meek and obedient, stating that they will no longer let fear rule their minds. The chorus reiterates the message of empowerment and ownership over their bodies, rejecting any attempts of sexual harassment or objectification.
In the final verse, the song confronts the various forms of discrimination and sexism women encounter in their daily lives. It challenges the notion that women should be limited based on their gender, such as being told they can't behave a certain way, pursue certain jobs, or wear certain clothes. The defiance in response to these restrictions reinforces the strength and determination of women.
Overall, "Women" is a call to action, reminding women that they are powerful, brave, and deserving of freedom and respect. It encourages women to stand up against the injustices they face and to challenge the societal norms that try to hold them back.
