    Story Behind the Song
    I was a philosophy/religion major at a small college in the middle of Kansas. Some of the guys in that department with me made good use of things like sniggering, eye-rolling, and guffawing whenever a woman spoke up in class. They're my inspiration.

    Lyrics
    i am a woman of worth
    and i have been trying to prove the reality of that statement since birth
    and i see by your smile you don't believe me
    'cause i don't lower my lashes and laugh at your lines
    yeah, i'm not what you think i should be
    but i've got something to say
    and i would like to open my mouth get it out but you're always in my way
    so don't look at me like we're on the same team
    you know, i just don't jive with somebody who makes me want to scream
    'cause when i was a girl
    all that i wanted was to just to grow up and be me anywhere in the world
    and i know that's not your agenda
    but it's mine and it's hers
    and i know that we don't see eye to eye
    and i know that it's because you think that you stand taller or you can see things more clearly
    but i'm not that much smaller and i can see things too really
    i'm not saying you have to let me to the front of the line
    but don't make me watch from behind
    i am a woman of means
    got my mind and my man and my god and my family and i can sing
    but i can tell by the look on your face
    you've got the advantage even though i'm half of the human race
    and i'm tired of that's just the way things are
    you know i think things could be much better by far
    and so it's time to take a stand
    though it may be my last one 'cause that's who i am
    and i know that we don't see eye to eye
    and i know that it's because you think that you stand taller or you can see things more clearly
    but i'm not that much smaller and i can see things too really
    i'm not saying you have to let me to the front of the line
    but don't make me watch from behind
