I won?t stand in her way   Spread her wings and she?ll fly   You know it?s hard to be free   When you slave to get by      This time I ain?t gonna let it get me down   It ain?t too late to start again   She wants to be her own kinda woman now   Why baby?      I don?t care what she says   Ain?t no love when you're poor   I can?t get to my bed   She won?t unlock the door      This time I ain?t gonna let it get me down   It ain?t too late to start again   She wants to be her own kinda woman now   Why baby?      On my way I roll on   Wipe the dust off my shoes   Greyhound bus run 'til dawn   Flower child dust my blues      This time I ain?t gonna let it get me down   It ain?t too late to start again   When she?s checking in, I?ll be checking out   I?m going to find myself another friend   She wants to be her own kinda woman now   Why baby?
