(Lari White)    

Twice the work for half the pay 
Twice as smart, but afraid to say 
I`m just here to provide the t & 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 
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 that 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 

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 lookin` for 

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
