Neneh Cherry Woman Lyrics

Woman Lyrics

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

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



Chorus:

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 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.

I’ve died so many times

I’m 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 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



Chorus:

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.
