Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Roots woman, roots woman, she's a roots woman
It's the truth, woman, and you turn me on
Roots woman, roots woman, she's my roots woman
It's the truth, woman, and you turn me on
[Verse 2]
Now she don't worship diamonds, she don't worship pearls
She don't worship silver, she don't worship gold
She'll live the life she'll love, and love the life she'll live
And give me plenty lovin', and it keeps me bubbling on
[Verse 3]
Roots woman, roots woman, she's a roots woman
It's the truth, woman, and you turn me on
Roots woman, roots woman, she's my roots woman
It's the truth, woman, and you turn me on
[Verse 4]
Now I don't know what you'd say, if you saw me yesterday
But I know what you'd say, if you see I'm on today
She'll cook that country porridge if I get her knowledge
Keep a-lookin' smashin', and it keeps us bubbling on
[Verse 5]
And I'm talking about the roots woman, roots woman, she's my roots woman
It's the truth, woman, and you turn me on
Roots woman, roots woman, she's the roots woman
It's the truth, woman, and you turn me on
[Verse 6]
Turn me on now, oh, yeah
I turn you on, mmm-hmm
[Verse 7]
Sometimes we have to fuss, sometimes we have to fight
But that don't hinder us from making it all right
You see, love is our foundation ever since creation
And funny as it seems, nothing can come between
[Verse 8]
And I'm talking about the roots woman, roots woman, she's a roots woman
It's the truth, woman, and you turn me on
Roots woman, roots woman, she's a roots woman
It's the truth, woman, and you turn me on
Turn me on now
[Verse 9]
Roots woman, roots woman (Oh, yeah)
She's my roots woman (I'll turn you on)
It's the truth, woman
She's my roots woman (Yeah)
[Verse 10]
Roots woman, roots woman (Oh, yeah)
She's my roots woman (Talking 'bout the roots woman, roots woman)
It's the truth, woman
She's my roots woman (Oh, yeah)
[Verse 11]
Roots woman, roots woman (Uh huh)
She's my roots woman (She's my roots woman)
It's the truth, woman (It's the truth, woman)
She's my roots woman (It's the roots woman)
[Verse 12]
Roots woman, roots woman (And you turn me on)
She's my roots woman (Turn me on now)
It's the truth, woman (I'll turn you on)
She's my roots woman (You turn me on)
[Verse 13]
Roots woman, roots woman (I turn you on)
She's my roots woman (You turn me on)
