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
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
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
To 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
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
Oh, this is a womans world
(Fade out)
