Souma yergon, sou nou yergon, we are shakinand' the tree
souma yergon, sou nou yergon, we are shakinand' the tree
Waiting your time, dreaming of a better life
waiting your time, youand're more than just a wife
you donand't want to do what your mother has done
she has done
this is your life, this new life has begun
itand's your day - a womanand's day
itand's your day - a womanand's day
Turning the tide, you are on the incoming wave
turning the tide, you know you are nobodyand's slave
[ 1989 version - find your brothers and sisters ]
[ 1990 version - find your sisters and brothers ]
who can hear all the truth in what you say
they can support you when youand're on your way
itand's your day - a womanand's day
itand's your day - a womanand's day
Souma yergon, sou nou yergon, we are shakinand' the tree
souma yergon, sou nou yergon, we are shakinand' the tree
souma yergon, sou nou yergon, we are shakinand' the tree
[ extra lyrics from 1989 12andquot; remix ]
Thereand's nothing to gain when thereand's nothing to be lost
thereand's nothing to gain if you stay behind and count the cost
make the decision that you can be who you can be
you can be
tasting the fruit come to the liberty tree
itand's your day - a womanand's day
itand's your day - a womanand's day
[ end of extra lyrics from 12andquot; remix ]
Changing your ways, changing those surrounding you
changing your ways, more than any man can do
open your heart, show him the anger and pain, so you heal
maybe heand's looking for his womanly side, let him feel
You had to be so strong
and you do nothing wrong
nothing wrong at all
weand're gonna to break it down
we have to shake it down
shake it all around
Souma yergon, sou nou yergon, we are shakinand' the tree
souma yergon, sou nou yergon, we are shakinand' the tree
souma yergon, sou nou yergon, we are shakinand' the tree
