You know I've been fortunate
You gotta be lucky now
I was just sitting here
Thinking good and bad
But I'm the kind of woman
That was built to last
They tried erasing me
They couldn't wipe out my past
To save my child I'd rather go hungry
I've got all those broken girls inside me
My blood flows through every boy and every man
In this God-fearing land that delivered me
I cried so many tears even his eyes can see
This is a woman's world
This is my world
This is a woman's world
For this man's girl
There's not a woman in this world
Not a woman or a girl
Who can't deliver love
In the face of this man's world
I've been born and bred
I've cleaned and I've fed
And for my healing wits
I've been called a witch
I've crackled in the fire
Been called a liar
I've died so many times
I'm only just coming to life
This is a woman's world (This is a woman's world)
It's my world (This is my world)
This is a woman's world
For this man's girl
There's not a woman in this world
Not a woman or your girl
Who can't deliver love
In the face of a man's world
My blood flows through every boy and every man
In this God-fearing land that delivered me
I cried so many tears even his eyes can see
This is a woman's world
This is my world
This is a woman's world
For this man's girl
There's not a woman in this world
Not a woman or a girl
Who couldn't deliver love
In the face of this man's world
This is a woman's world
This is a woman's, woman's, woman's, woman's world
This is a woman's world
This stolen world
It's my world
Come on, come on, come on
You gotta give it back now to me
Give what's stolen, give what's stolen, give it back now
If you want what's best for you
If you want what's best for me
If you love me
You'll give it back to me
