(Lalomie Washburn)
|
I am a species born to die
|
Understanding this, I hardly cry
|
Growin' up and out, I'll marry you
|
I'll bear your kids and be your mama too cause
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Cause I'm a woman and I'm a backbone
|
I'm a woman and I'm a backbone
|
|
Everybody needs one
|
|
Goin' on I live from day to day
|
Give a little heart for my life to pay
|
Smile and then I need to cry
|
Never knowin' if I lie (or die)
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Understand you will not see me down
|
Both of my feet are on the ground
|
Come lay your head upon my chest
|
I'll love you hard, I'll give my best
|
