About She Will Have Her Way

"She Will Have Her Way" is a 1998 solo single by New Zealand singer/songwriter and Crowded House lead singer Neil Finn. It was used in the second season premiere of Aaron Sorkin's show Sports Night and multiple times throughout the season (however, this song has been replaced by Tim Cullen's song "Valentine" in on-line versions of Season 2, Episodes 1 and 4 of "Sports Night", such as "ABC TV On Demand" and "Amazon Video") . A snippet of the song can also be heard in the third-season episode "Daria Dance Party" of the MTV animated series Daria. The song is included in the first CD that accompanied the television series Felicity, as it appeared in the beginning of the second episode of the first season, "The Last Stand." The song gave its name to the 2005 tribute album, She Will Have Her Way, which featured female Australasian artists performing tracks written by Neil and Tim Finn. It was also the inspiration for the title of the 2010 tribute album, He Will Have His Way.

I might be old but I'm someone new she said
I'm so sore that I could cry always
In the night lay your tired arms

She will have her way
Somehow I will still believe her

She's the life I've been frightened of seems like
Deathly silence and especially the dark
Feels like I am heavy and my spirit has died

She will have her way
Somehow I will still believe her
She will have her way
One day I will come back

Still no end in sight
Though I travel far and wide
A dying man is doing time
Thinker, soldier terrified

And she will have her way
Somehow I will still believe her
She will have her way
One day I will come back

She will have her way
When the time has gone away
She will have her way
She will have her way
But not before time
She will have her way
