There aren't more lady songwriters for the same reason that there aren't more lady doctors or lady accountants or lady lawyers; not enough women have the time for careers.

Love is the reason for it all.

Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, start all over again.

Just direct your feet to the sunny side of the street.

I do not think men have more talent. There are a great many women in the arts; novelists, painters, sculptors, poets-but the proportion is far lower in the field of song writing.

Write what you feel. Write because of that need for expression.

Grab your coat, and get your hat Leave your worry on the doorstep Just direct your feet To the sunny side of the street.
