You gotta be fortunate
You gotta be lucky now
I was just sitting here
Thinking good and bad
But Im the kinda woman
That was built to last
They tried erasing me
But they couldnt wipe out my past
To save my child
Id rather go hungry
I got all of Ethiopia
Inside of me
And my blood flows
Through every man
In this godless land
That delivered me
Ive cried so many tears even the blind can see
Chorus:
This is a womans world.
This is my world.
This is a womans world
For this mans girl.
There aint a woman in this world,
Not a woman or a little girl,
That cant deliver love
In a mans world.
Ive born and Ive bread.
Ive cleaned and Ive fed.
And for my healing wits
Ive been called a witch.
Ive crackled in the fire
And been called a liar.
Ive died so many times
Im only just coming to life.
Chorus:
This is a womans world.
This is my world.
This is a womans world
For this mans girl.
There aint a woman in this world,
Not a woman or a little girl,
That cant deliver love
In a mans 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 can see
Chorus:
This is a womans world.
This is my world.
This is a womans world
For this mans girl.
There aint a woman in this world,
Not a woman or a little girl,
That can deliver love
In a man's world.
Woman
