Neneh Cherry - Woman lyrics

You got to be fortunate
You got to 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
But 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 little girl
That can’t deliver love in a man’s world

I’ve born and I’ve bred I’ve
Cleaned and I’ve fed
And for my healing wit's I’ve
Been called a witch
I’ve crackled in the fire and
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 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 little girl
That can’t deliver love in a man’s world

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
