Lyrics Manfred Mann's Earth Band

Manfred Mann's Earth Band

Independent Woman

Lend me your ears dry up your tears

And let's hear the cheers for the year of the independent woman

You gotta break through this wall

Take a stand never fall

There may be one chance I know

Take it now one final go

Don't sit back stick on the track

You watch your back but give a damn

You've gotta be the one to keep it like that

To keep it like that, to keep it like that

Do what you have to do

Say what you need to say

Be what you want to be what you want to be

Lend me your ears dry up your tears

And let's hear the cheers for the year of the independent woman

You gotta break from these chains

You gotta make this your claim

You know it's all down to you

And we know who's to blame

It's been tough gonna get rough

You've had enough and you can tell

You gotta think what you can do about that

Can do about that, can do about that

Do what you have to do

Say what you need to say

Be what you want to be what you want to be

Lend me your ears dry up your tears

And let's hear the cheers for the year of the independent woman

Jede Frau ist Mutter, eine Mutter der Welt

Wir alle bleiben ihre Kinder, weil es lebenslang hält

Wir erschaffen und ernähren das was uns widerfährt

Weil der Bauch alle Dinge gebährt

Ist nur fair wenn du erfährst dass die Zeit alles nimmt

Und nichts bleibt was du in dieser Welt geboren hast

Es ist der Preis dass du erst weißt was Verlust heißt

Nachdem du es verloren hast

You gotta break through this wall

Take a stand never fall

There may be one chance I know

Take it now one final go

Let's hear the cheers for the year of the independent woman

Let's hear the cheers for the year of the independent woman
