Woman - Various Artists

Written by：Cherry Neneh/Sharp Jonathan Peter/Mcvey Cameron Andrew

You gotta be fortunate

You gotta be lucky now

I was just sitting here

Thinking good and bad

But I'm the kinda 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 got all of ethiopia

Inside of me

And my blood flows

Through every man

In this godless land that delivered me

I've cried so many tears even the blind can see

This is a woman's world

This is my world

This is a woman's world

For this man's girl

There ain't a woman in this world

Not a woman or a girl

That can't deliver love

In a man's world

I've born and I've bread

I've cleaned and I've fed

And for my healing wits

I've been called a witch

I've crackled in the fire

And been called a liar

Died so many times

I'm only just coming to life

Woman

This is a woman's world

This is my world

Woman

This is a woman's world

For this man's girl

Woman

There ain't a woman in this world

Not a woman or a girl

Woman

That can't deliver love

To a man's world

And my blood flows

Through every man and every child

In this godless land that delivered me

I cried so many tears even the blind can see

Woman

This is a woman's world

This is my world

Woman

This is a woman's world

For this man's girl

Woman

There ain't a woman in this world

Not a woman or a girl

Woman

That can't deliver love

In a man's world

Woman

Oh this is a woman's world

Woman

Woman
