You needn't get heavy with them

This song celebrates the true power, strength and beauty of women everywhere.

True to form Kate tackles the subject with her trademark intelligence and grace. Rather than ranting and raving about the unequal treatment of women by men, she encourages us to stop the game-playing and simply be ourselves.

Lost in your men and the games you play
Trying to prove that you're better woman
But you needn't get heavy with them

She feels that femininity is a powerful force to be valued by women rather than denied, after all:

There's room for a life in your womb, woman,
Inside of you, can be two, woman

Like it or not we were built tough
Because we're woman

Some may find the idea that women are being celebrated solely for their baby-making abilities patronising, but I enjoy the imagery and feel that she is highlighting an obvious example of our capabilities as if to say "you are capable of creating life, imagine what else you can do" so...

Hey get up on your feet and go get it now
