Fearless Females

Sharon's interview with Leslie Fram, senior vice president of music strategy for CMT.

The lyrics (co-written with three women, Karen Kosowski, Victoria Bank and Emma-Lee):

She thinks life is fair /God hears every prayer/ And everyone gets their ever after
She thinks love is love/ And if you work hard, that’s enough/ Skin’s just skin and it doesn’t matter

And that her friend’s older brother’s gonna keep his hands to himself/ And that somebody’s gonna believe her when she tells

But what are you gonna tell her/ When she’s wrong/ Will you just shrug and say it’s been that way all along
What are you gonna tell her/ When she figures out/ That all this time you built her up just so the world could let her down
Yeah what do you tell her/ What are you gonna tell her/ Do you just let her pretend/ That she could be the president
Would it help us get there any faster/ Do you let her think the deck’s not stacked/ And gay or straight or white or black
You just dream and anything can happen/ Do you tell her not to fight/ Is it worth the sacrifice/ Can you look her in the face
And promise her that things’ll change/ What are you gonna tell her/ Maybe you can’t/ Cause there ain’t no way/ You can’t explain
What you don’t understand/ Yeah what the hell do you tell her
