lyrics

EMOTIONAL CREATURE
Words by Eve Ensler. Music by Boe Huntress

I love being a woman, I can feel what you’re feeling as you’re feeling it inside the feeling before, I am an emotional creature, things do not come to me as intellectual theories or hard shaped ideas, they pulse through my organs and legs and they burn up my ears

I know when your girlfiend’s really pissed off even though she appears to give you what you want, I know when a storm is coming I can feel the invisible stirrings in the air, I can tell you that he won’t call back it’s a vibe, it’s a vibe I share

I am an emotional creature, I love that I don’t take things lightly
Everything, everything is intense to me, the way I walk in the street
The way the morning wakes me up, the way I hear bad news
The way it’s unbearable when I lose

I am an emotional creature, I am connected to everything and everyone, I was born like that don’t you dare say, all negative, that it’s a teenage thing, or it’s only beceause I’m a woman
These feelings they make me better, they make me ready, they make me present, they make me strong

I am an emotional creature, and there is a particular way of knowing
It’s like somehow it was forgotten, I rejoice, it’s still in my body, cos I know when the coconut’s about to fall, I know we’ve pushed the earth too far, I know my father isn’t coming back and that no one’s prepared for the fire, I know that lipstick means more than show, I know boys feel super insecure, and so called terrorists are made not born, I know that one kiss can take away all my decision making abilities and sometimes, you know, it should

This is not extreme it’s a woman thing, what would we all be if the big door inside us flew open? Don’t tell me not to cry, to calm it down, not to be so extreme, to be reasonable, cos I am an emotional creature, it’s how the earth got made, how the wind continues to pollinate, you don’t tell the atlantic ocean to behave

I am an emotional creature, why would you want to shut me down or turn me off, I am your remaining memory, I am connecting you to your source. Nothing’s been diluted, nothing’s leaked out, oh I can take you back

I love that I can feel the inside of the feelings in you, even if it stops my life, even if it hurts too much or takes me off track, even if it breaks my heart, it makes me responsible

I am an emotional, I am an emotional, I am an emotional,
devotional, incandotional creature and I love, I love, I love, hear me, I love, I love, I love, being a woman
