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 the people
on the earth, inside of me
And my blood flows
through every man
In this Godless land
that delivered me
I got 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'm born and I'm bred
I've cleaned and I've fed
And for my healing wits
I've been called a witch
I 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 girl
That can't deliver love
To a man's world
And my blood flows
through every man
and every child
In this dark land
that delivered me
I got 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
This is a woman's world
