You gotta be fortunateYou gotta be lucky nowI was just sitting hereThinking good and badBut I'm the kinda womanThat was built to lastThey tried erasing meBut they couldn't wipe out my pastTo save my childI'd rather go hungryI got all of EthiopiaInside of meAnd my blood flowsThrough every manIn this godless landThat delivered meI've cried so many tears even the blind can seeThis is a woman's world.This is my world.This is a woman's worldFor this man's girl.There ain't a woman in this world,Not a woman or a little girl,That can't deliver loveIn a man's world.I've born and I've bread.I've cleaned and I've fed.And for my healing witsI've been called a witch.I've crackled in the fireAnd been called a liar.I've died so many timesI'm only just coming to life.This is a woman's world.This is my world.This is a woman's worldFor this man's girl.There ain't a woman in this world,Not a woman or a little girl,That can't deliver loveIn a man's world.My blood flowsThrough every man and every childIn this godless landThat delivered meI cried so many tears even the blind can seeThis is a woman's world.This is my world.This is a woman's worldFor this man's girl.There ain't a woman in this world,Not a woman or a little girl,That can't deliver loveIn a man's world.
