    1. I'm just a woman, a lonely woman, waitin' on a weary shore 02:02:09:13 I'm just a woman, that's only human, one you

      The lyrics to this jazz song are significant in the sense it really brings out the emotional degradation that Sita is experiencing given the betrayal she is feeling from Rama when he rejects her. It points out how culturally within society we put women into boxes that emotionally tie their worth to the praise and admiration of men. Even in modern times we can see the grief of Sita being mirrored as a cultural constant of womanhood, feeling not seen, not heard, and not believed, is an experience Sita goes through that the Jazz singer went through, and most girls go through and how that’s isolating.
