[Verse 1]
You gotta be fortunate
You gotta be lucky now
I was just sitting here
Making good or bad
But I’m the kind of woman
That was built to last
They tried erasing me
But they couldn’t wipe out my past
To save my child I’d rather go hungry
Got all these wounds that just won’t heal
Inside of me

[Refrain]
And my blood flows
Through every man
In this godless land
That delivered me
I’ve cried so many tears even the blacked sea

[Chorus]
Woman
This is a woman’s world
This is my world
This is a woman’s world
For this man’s girl
Woman
There ain’t a woman in this world
Not a woman of a girl
They can’t deliver love
In this man’s world
[Verse 2]
I won and I bred
I’ve cleaned and I’ve feared
And through my (…)
I’ve been called a witch
I’ve crackled in the fire
And I’ve been called a liar
I’ve died so many times
I’m more than just coming alive

[Chorus]
Woman
This is a woman’s world
This is my world
This is a woman’s world
For this man’s girl
Woman
There ain’t a woman in this world
Not a woman of a girl
They can’t deliver love

[Refrain]
And my blood flows
Through every man and every child
In this godless land
That delivered me
I’ve cried so many tears even the blacked sea
[Chorus]
Woman
This is a woman’s world
This is my world
This is a woman’s world
For this man’s girl
Woman
There ain’t a woman in this world
Not a woman of a girl
They can’t deliver love
In this man’s world
