[LIZZY]
It’s a misbegotten world
Where I feel out of place
Is it my affliction?
Or is it my saving grace?
I don’t have secret dreams
I don’t wish on a star
But I am not so certain
I like things the way they are
Cause I’m headstrong
Crashing into walls
Sometimes starting brawls with just a word
Could social mores be more absurd?
I’m headstrong
Kicking up the dust
I speak because I must
Though I know
Others feel that I should show a little more restraint
But no one finds a headstrong woman quaint
But it’s not exactly clear
Which road my life should take
I’m not demure and humble
I’m not good for goodness sake
Cause I’m headstrong
Finding my own way
Not afraid to say the things I feel
And I don’t care what they reveal
I’m headstrong
Attractable and bold
Impulsive too as I’ve been told
And I don’t seem to want the same things other women do
I’m a Longbourne ingenue
It’s my un-taming of the shrew
I’m the woman you once knew
Somewhere
I’m fearless and I’m smart
Even if I don’t know my heart
I’m headstrong
Crashing into walls
Sometimes taking falls as people can
And I fall as well as any man
I’m willful
But is that such a crime?
I speak my conscience every time
And I am not as foolish as my younger sisters on the hunt
For their two misters
That is not my care
Cause I’m to headstrong
For any man to bear
