[Verse One]

The day, I met you

I saw strength

And I knew from, that point on

that you were pure, woman

Posessing a spirit that was strong

I want smiles to replace the sorrow

that you've encountered in the past

And since it was strength, that attracted me to you

It will take strength to make it last

My, negative side will attempt to, change you

But please fight that with your aura

It will be your strength, that keep us both standing

While others around us, fall

Black woman, black woman, black woman



[singer in background]

Black woman, black woman, ohhhh black woman



[Verse Two - background singer echoes words]

I want smiles to replace the sorrow

that you have encountered in the past

And since it was strength, that attracted me to you

It will take strength...

to make it last

Myyyy, negative side will attempt to change you

But please...

fight that with your aura

It will be your strength, that keep us both standing

While others around us, fall

Keep us standing, while things around us fall

It's your spirit, your strong beautiful spirit

That makes us both stand

Black woman, it is your beauty

It is your pureness, it is you, and all your love

That make us both stand

Black woman, you are pure, woman to me

Black woman, you are pure, love to me

Black woman, you are pure, joy to me
