Because I'm A Woman Lyrics - Lari White

Twice the work for half the pay 

Twice as smart but afraid to say 

I'm just here to provide the T and A 

Because I'm a woman 

He'll get the gig no matter how hard I bust my ass 

I better shimmy if the boss man makes a pass 

And if I'm in the big chair baby better watch out for broken glass 

Because I'm a woman 

And if my skirt's too short then I'm asking for it 

That's how the story goes 

I'm guilty if I lock it up and I'm guilty if it shows 

And I, I live with a fear 

That no man every knows 

Because I'm a woman 

And if I'm strong I'm a bitch, and if I'm free I'm a whore 

And if I'm home with my babies 

You won't find me in the pages of Cosmo 

'Cause honey, mama ain't nothin' but a bore 

But I have a dream I am a thing 

Of beauty and power 

Give me love, give me good love 

And I blossom like a flower 

Because I'm a woman 

Because I'm a woman 

Because I'm a woman 

Because I'm a woman 

There are places in this world I can't even show my face 

I got to walk behind the man I got to keep my place 

And they don't even see all the good gone to waste 

Because I'm a woman 

And somewhere on this day I will not even be born 

When they detect the weaker sex from my mother's womb I will be torn 

The man child gets the love and I get the scorn 

Because I'm a woman 

And if I'm strong I'm a bitch, and if I'm free I'm a whore 

And if I'm home with my babies 

You won't find me in the pages of Cosmo 

'Cause honey, that ain't what they're looking for, no 

I have a dream I am a thing 

Of beauty and power 

Give me love, give me good love 

And I blossom like a flower 

Because I'm a woman 

Because I'm a woman 

Because I'm a woman 

Because I'm a woman 

A woman, a woman
