Story Behind the Song
THE MOTIVATION FOR THE SONG IS MY OWN EXPERIENCE OF WITNESSING ABUSE ON WOMEN AND INCREASING REPORTS ON DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ON WOMEN. THE LYRICS ARE STRAIGHT TO THE POINT AND MEAN FOR A WOMAN OR MAN TO UNDERSTAND THAT A FEMALE DOESN'T HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THAT. THE SONG WAS WRITTEN AT HOME AND TOOK 2HRS TO WRITE. IT TOOK 3 TAKES OVER 2 DAYS TO RECORD.
Lyrics
CHORUS: PRESSURE...WOMAN UNDER PRESSURE
PRESSURE...THERE'S NOTHING LIKE PRESSURE
PRESSURE...WOMAN UNDER PRESSURE
PRESSURE...IT'S SOMETHING ELSE TO BE UNDER PRESSURE
PRESSURE...WOMAN UNDER PRESSURE
PRESSURE...NEED TO GET AWAY FROM PRESSURE
SUCH A SPECIAL LADY WITH YOUR PRECIOUS BABY,
LIVING WITH A MAN THAT YOU KNOW WHO'S QUITE LAZY,
LIVING IN A HOME THAT'S EVERYTHING CRAZY,
NO LIFE, NO LOVE, EVERYTHING'S SHADY
YOU NEED A TRUE MAN WHO'LL APPRECIATE YOU MORE
AND NOT A LUNATIC WHO TRAILS YOU TO THE STORE
AND YOU STILL WONDER WILL HE HIT ME ANYMORE
EVERYDAY THE SAME, NO DIFFERENT THAN BEFORE
YOU WANT TO BE FREE AND FEEL LIKE A FEATHER
LIVING WITH A MAN WHO CHANGES LIKE THE WEATHER,
I'M TAKING THIS TIME TO WRITE YOU THIS LETTER
THAT YOU, BABYGIRL, YOU CAN DO SO MUCH BETTER
CHORUS:
EVEN WHEN HE'S THERE, YOU FEEL SO ALONE
INSECURE MAN, HE WON'T LET YOU USE THE PHONE
ONE SPECIAL DAY AND IT WON'T BE LONG
HE'LL WAKE UP AND FIND THAT YOU'D GONE,
YOU DESERVE BETTER, SO MANY SPECIAL THINGS,
LIVING WITH A MAN WHO HASN'T DONE ANYTHING,
YOU NEED A BETTER MAN, WHAT JOY HE WILL BRING
SOMEONE WHO WILL LOVE YOU AND YOUR HEART WILL SING,
DECIDED IN YOUR HEAD, YOU WON'T TAKE IT ANYMORE,
WITH STRENGTH AND YOUR BABY, RIGHT OUT THE DOOR,
NO TIME TO WASTE, YOU REALLY CAN'T AFFORD,
A NEW LIFE AHEAD, THANK YOU LORD.
CHORUS X2:
LADIES, THERE'S SOMETHING YOU NEED TO SAY UNTO PRESSURE X2
YOU'LL NEVER EVER CONTROL ME AGAIN X3
