Not so old and not so young
But to me you'll always stay a little woman
Oh, woman
Not so silent, not so loud
You were there but mom and dad never saw ya
Oh, woman
You could be singing like an angel, but no
The showgirl life was not really yours
And preserving your good looks
You threw yourself into the books like a woman
Oh, woman
But sister
This world is a dangerous place
Regardless you're searching for grace
It might bring some tears on your face
Oh oh oh
Remember
The music was always my choice
You don't need to raise up your voice
This song says "I love you, rejoice"
Oh oh oh, Serena
Serena
Oh oh oh, Serena
Serena
Oh oh oh
Not so happy, not so sad
Early coffee and cigarette, that's your moment
Oh woman
And you're looking for a job
But they want cash to take you on, so you worry
Oh woman
You could be traveling with your dog and your man
Or thinking totally for yourself
But you wanted to stay safe
And close to family just in case, like a woman
Oh woman
But sister
This world is a dangerous place
Regardless you're searching for grace
It might rip some tears off your face
Oh oh oh
Remember
The music was always my choice
You don't need to raise up your voice
This song says "I love you, rejoice"
Oh oh oh, Serena
Serena
Oh oh oh, Serena
Serena
Oh oh oh
