Woman

You gotta be fortunate

You gotta be lucky now

I was just sittin' here

Thinkin' good and bad

But I'm the kind of woman

That was built to last

They tried erasing me

They couldn't wipe out my past

To save my child

I'd rather go hungry

I've got all of Ethiopia inside of me

And my blood flows through every man

In this godless land that delivered me

I cried so many tears

Even the blind could see

This is a woman's world

This is my world

This is a woman's world

For this man's girl

There ain't a woman in this world

Not a woman or a little girl

That can't deliver love in a man's world

I've born and I've bred

I've cleaned and I've fed

And for my healing wits

I've been called a witch

I crackled in the fire

And been called a liar

I've died so many times

I'm only just coming to life

(Woman) This is a woman's world

This is my world (Woman)

This is a woman's world

For this man's girl (Woman)

There ain't a woman in this world

Not a woman or a little girl (Woman)

That can't deliver love to a man's world

My blood flows through every man and every child

In this godless land that delivered me

I cried so many tears

Even the blind could see

(Woman) This is a woman's world

This is my world (Woman)

This is a woman's world

For this man's girl (Woman)

There ain't a woman in this world

Not a woman or a little girl (Woman)

That can't deliver love in the man's world

(Woman) Oh this is a woman's world

(Woman)

Yeah, yeah

(Woman)
