Refreshed
I got me a tune up.
It wasn’t free
It cost me my spare change
but I spent it on me
I had time to myself
to do as I pleased
I ate want I wanted
slept ‘til I wanted
'cause I didn’t have to meet
nobody’s needs
Don’t get me wrong
'cause I love my family
A woman just needs time on her own
to just look in the mirror
and love who she sees
My engine’s running fine now
'Cause I was running on HOT
Mentally exhausted from cooking and cleaning
you know
A homemaker I am not
I hope for a while that I can keep this feeling
even staying energetic
from all with what I’m dealing
My wish for women everywhere
is to get a tune-up
So that all in her life
is more than
just fair...
Life
like the sun
can beat you down
have you running on hot
Thinking ‘bout not who you are
but all that you’re not
Women everywhere
Turn a dream into reality
Believe there are endless possibilities
of
Wherever or whoever
YOU want to be
Believe in yourself
Believing is free
I believe
I am all that I thought I was
and know
There is more of me to be
Let us allow God’s sun
to refresh our soul
‘til we believe as we should
We are whole
God is good
and
Life is grand
and we are free
My tune-ups got me so I can bend without a flinch
Doing my chores now
seems like a cinch
Listening to my music
dancing my way through the kitchen
Now thinking ‘bout my family
My family
who I’m missing
I drank the fine wine
Dined on my dime
In my own space
In my own time
