Tekster: Lari White. Because I'm A Woman.

Twice the work for half the pay
Twice as smart but afraid to say
I'm just here to provide the T and A
Because I'm a woman

He'll get the gig no matter how hard I bust my ass
I better shimmy if the boss man makes a pass
And if I'm in the big chair baby better watch out for broken glass
Because I'm a woman

And if my skirt's too short then I'm asking for it
That's how the story goes
I'm guilty if I lock it up and I'm guilty if it shows

And I, I live with a fear
That no man every knows
Because I'm a woman

And if I'm strong I'm a bitch, and if I'm free I'm a whore
And if I'm home with my babies
You won't find me in the pages of Cosmo
'Cause honey, mama ain't nothin' but a bore

But I have a dream I am a thing
Of beauty and power
Give me love, give me good love
And I blossom like a flower

Because I'm a woman
Because I'm a woman
Because I'm a woman
Because I'm a woman

There are places in this world I can't even show my face
I got to walk behind the man I got to keep my place
And they don't even see all the good gone to waste
Because I'm a woman

And somewhere on this day I will not even be born
When they detect the weaker sex from my mother's womb I will be torn
The man child gets the love and I get the scorn
Because I'm a woman

And if I'm strong I'm a bitch, and if I'm free I'm a whore
And if I'm home with my babies
You won't find me in the pages of Cosmo
'Cause honey, that ain't what they're looking for, no

I have a dream I am a thing
Of beauty and power
Give me love, give me good love
And I blossom like a flower

Because I'm a woman
Because I'm a woman
Because I'm a woman
Because I'm a woman
A woman, a woman
