"Good Woman" lyrics

"Good Woman"

Well, you say what you want and you never go back
My song is a song, even buried in the black
Well, I cover my mouth and I straighten my back
Well, I cover my mouth and I straighten my back

I'm a good woman
I'm a good woman
Be kind
I'm a good woman

Erased in the light, I feel like a fool
'Cause a game isn't fun if I never know the rules
And you're measuring but you're coming off cruel
And you say what you say and you send me away
Now you only like a

I'm a good woman
I'm a good woman

Surrender is sweet, forgiveness divine
But who will build statues of me when I leave you all behind?
And I'm carrying weight, but I know it's not mine
With half a heart, it's hard to stop, but I feel as though

I'm a good woman
I'm a good woman
I'm a good, good woman (Come on)
I'm a good woman

I'm a good woman
I'm a good woman
I'm a good, good woman
I'm a good woman

"Good Woman" is the title track from the Staves' studio album "Good Woman". The song was premiered on October 20, 2020. Camilla explained, "When you're in a relationship, you can end up viewing yourself through the other person's eyes. And in bad cases, you lose sight of what you actually think about yourself - and you start to let them dictate whether you think you're a good person or not. I think I just got to that stage. There was a feeling of, 'What does it even mean to be a good woman? Is it just shutting up and being amenable or accommodating?' And after a while I think you just need to be like, 'Well, screw it, I am a good woman. I am enough.'"
This song features pieces of conversations from the sister's mother and grandmother who both passed away in 2018.
