don't walk crowded streets
choose every dream from a magazine stand
i don't buy into that
all day tv shows
sell their souls just to make living easy
i don't buy into that
i don't need satin and lace no no no
i'll bring a smile to your face

i'll never be a fire but i will be the flame
i'll never be a diamond but i'll never be fake
no i've never been a winner but i still play the game
can't you see this is me
i'm all the woman that i wanna be
good times can't get enough
life can be tough but it's all for a reason
i sure buy into that
life goes around and around
we seek what we found 'cause it's all an illusion
i sure buy into that
i know the waters of fate
will keep on flowing my way

i'll never be a fire but i will be the flame
i'll never be a diamond but i'll never be fake no no
i've never been a winner but i still play the game
baby can't you see this is me
i'm all the woman that i want
i've never been afraid of myself
i don't buy into that i don't buy into that
i don't wanna be nobody else i don't buy into that i don't buy into that i don't buy into that

i'll never be a fire but i will be the flame be the flame
i'll never be a diamond but i'll never be fake oh no no no
i've never been a winner but i still play the game
baby baby can't you see that this is me i'm all the woman that i want all i wanna be
i'll never be a fire but i will be the flame be the flame
i'll never be a diamond but i'll never be fake oh no no no
i've never been a winner but i still play the game
can't you see this is me
and i'm all the woman that i wanna be
