Love

Some people fall in love
Me
I crash into it
Like waves against the rocks
Some people tell stories
Others tell tales
But I,
I speak from the heart
Tell the truth from the start
And the truth is
I won't let anything in this world
Tear us apart.

I am

I am a prize
A woman so wise
Look deep into my eyes
They will tell no lies
I want to be free
Will you accept me?
Just as I am
Just as I please
A body, a heart, a soul
Worth so much more than gold
So precious, so pure
You'll just want more...more
Of me
Yes me
Don't you see
I am woman
I am Tamara
I am me

The Woman In Me

Judge me not by the colour of my skin
Nor by the colour of my eyes
Judge me not by the coarseness of my hair
Nor by the garden between my thighs
Judge me not by things that won't last eternity
If you must judge me
Judge me by the woman that's inside me
Judge me not by the sexiness of my curves
Nor by the sassiness in my stride
Judge me not by the fullness of my lips
Nor by my hips that like the ocean spread wide
Judge me not by things that only the eye can see
If you must judge me
Judge the woman that's in me
Judge me not because I don't look like you
Nor because my hair don't grow straight like yours do
Judge me not by the power of my voice
Nor because I've got a big butt, that's not my choice!
Judge me not by what I am physically
If you must judge me
Judge the woman
Within me

Miss Independent

You better work for my affection
Or look the next direction
This ain't no free show
So I hope that you know
You won't get between my thighs
So don't come here with no lies
Cause I ain't makin no time
For no lame, tired ass rhyme
Bout my beauty, my curves
Some guys got lots of nerves
But wait...
I ain't sayin don't compliment
I just ain't givin consent
For you wastin my days
Tryin to steal my goods in dirty ways
Be real
Be true
Let me know who you are
Up close, inside, not from far
Don't pretend you're a superstar
Don't try to impress me with your car
I got one too
And know...I ain't got no problem if I gotta come get you
I'm independent, I'm free
But I'm not easy you'll see
So don't lie, be sly and not too shy
And never, ever make me cry
I'll be me
You'll be you
And I'm sure there's something we can do

Today I'm going to go into my skin
That's the place where I live
Today I am going to scrutinize my mind
Let my heart, my soul, my being intertwine
Today I'm going to find who I need to be
Today I'm going to find the real woman in me ;)

How come????

I told you I loved you
Although it was hard
Now there's a bitter sweet feeling
Left inside my heart
How come you left me out here in the cold
How come you don't see me as worth more than gold
I told you I loved you
In truth and in fear
But how come when I need you
You're not always there
Why did you hurt me
Why'd you disappear
My love is to cherish
Not to run from in despair...

Let me be

Let me be who I be
Who I say that I am
I don't want to be like she
If I am Sue don't call me Pam!

Don't rough me up because I'm shy
Don't say you'll beat me when I cry...
For no reason
Maybe I just don't want to say
Why it is I'm sad today

Don't tell me how to walk
Criticize my style of talk
Who are you to decide anyway
Who I shall be tomorrow, next week or today...

Disenchanted Woman

I feel misplaced, displaced & disgraced
I don't know if I could ever show my face
For I have made so many mistakes

Years and years I've tried
Days and nights I've cried
For freedom, peace, love
Yes, that's what I prayed for from up above

No answer, no reason
A constant shitty season
My life, it's strife
No man will take me for a wife
Oh why?!
NO, what I say is no lie
Lord please here my cry

Change for me
Change please I plea
Take me away from this place
So I'll be proud to show my face
Disappear
You...the misplaced, displaced & disgraced
