Lari White "Because I'm a Woman" |
(Lari White) 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 cant 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 nlossom like a flower Because I'm a woman Because I'm a woman Because I'm a woman...
