Backstory:

Dan and Sarah and I were talking about writing a song about a friend giving some tough love to her friend and trying to help her let go of a bad situation. We were tossing hook ideas around. Sarah said, how about man up? Dan, who just kidding said, what about Woman Up? But it stuck and we went from there and wrote the song.

Lyrics:

Woman Up
John Cirillo(ASCAP)/Sarah Spencer (ASCAP)/Dan Reifsnyder (ASCAP)

Hey girl friend you went and did it again
You gave your heart up to a low down man
Gave him what he wanted when you know you could have had more
So why are you surprised you caught him sneaking around
Ain’t that what every bad boy’s about
You can cry in the bed you made like you’ve done before
Or when push comes to shove, you can shove him right out the door

Chorus:
Woman up
Pull yourself together
That’s enough
You can do better
Girl, you know I love ya
But I’m gonna have to tell ya
Straight up
Woman up
He ain’t worth the crying
Suck it up
He ain’t worth the trying
Ain’t no denying
You’ve been dragged down far enough
Woman up

There’s a good man out there waiting on you
But the very first thing that you gotta do
Is burn this bridge and every bad memory
I want you to stand right here
Look at yourself in your bedroom mirror
Till you see the beautiful spirit that I see
And that spirit inside, she’s dying to break free

Bridge: (spoken)
"You can change your hair, what you wear, your nail color, taller, blonder but it still won’t? change what you really need to let go of,? and what you really need a lot more of. Love,? for yourself, for your inner beauty. Are you gettin’ it girl? Are you listening to me? You gotta count to 10 before you fall again.
Dig your high heels in and love yourself, woman!
