Neneh Cherry - Paroles - Woman

Woman

You´ve got to be fortunate
You´ve got to be lucky now
I was just sitting here
Thinking good and bad
But I am the kinda woman
That was built to last
They tried erasing me
But they couldn´t wipe out my past
To save my child
I would rather go hungry
I got all of Ethiopia
Inside of me
And my blood flows
Through every man
In this godless land
That delivered me
I have cried so many tears even the blind can see

Chorus:
This is a woman´s world.
This is my world.
This is a woman´s world
For this man´s girl.
There aint a woman in this world,
Not a woman or a little girl,
That can´t deliver love
In a man´s world.

I have born and I have bread.
I have cleaned and I have fed.
And for my healing wits
I have been called a witch.
I have crackled in the fire
And been called a liar.
I have died so many times
I am only just coming to life.

Chorus:
This is a woman´s world.
This is my world.
This is a woman´s world
For this man´s girl.
There aint a woman in this world,
Not a woman or a little girl,
That can´t deliver love
In a man´s world.

My blood flows
Through every man & every child
In this godless land
That delivered me
I cried so many tears even the blind can see

Chorus:
This is a woman´s world.
This is my world.
This is a woman´s world
For this man´s girl.
There aint a woman in this world,
Not a woman or a little girl,
That can´t deliver love
In a man´s world.
