Twice the work for half the pay
|
Twice as smart, but afraid to say
|
I`m just here to provide the t & 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
|
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 that 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
|
|
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 lookin` for
|
|
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
