[Intro]
I want you, ah, woman

[Verse 1]
Tried to be a son and daughter
Rolled into one
You said you'd equal any man
For having your fun

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, now didn't you feel surprised to find
The cap just didn't fit?
The world expects a man
To buckle down and to shovel shit
What'll you do for loving
When it's only just begun?

[Chorus]
I want you to be a woman, yeah

[Verse 2]
Tried to be a teacher
And a fisher of men
An equal people preacher
Will you lead us all the same?
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I travelled around the world and found
A brand new word for day
Watching the time, mustn't linger behind
Pardon me, I have to get away
Ooh, what'll you think of heaven
If it's back from where you came?

[Chorus]
I want you to be a woman

[Outro]
I want you to be a woman, yeah
You know I'm gonna save the world
Now you've just begun, alright!
