I'm gonna cross that river Jordan
Yes, I am
I'm gonna leave my heart wide open
Yes, I am
I am the one and only, girl
Yes, I am
I'll probably be the one to save ya
Yes, I am

But if you think that you can knock me down, kick sand in my face
You think that I'm not strong enough to put you in your place
Let me tell ya, baby
Yes, I am
Yes, I am
Yes, I am
Yes, I am

I am a lover, I'm a soldier
Yes, I am
I'm gonna keep my enemies closer
Yes, I am
I am indifferent to how you see me
Yes, I am
I'm workin' hard for those who need it
Yes, I am

Well, if you think that you can walk on me without makin' me mad
You think that I'm not capable of fightin' back
Let me tell ya, baby
Yes, I am
Yes, I am
Oh, baby, yes, I am
Yes, I am

(SCAT)

I am a love and I'm a soldier
Yes, I am
I'm gonna keep my enemies closer
Yes, I am
I am indifferent to how you see me
Yes, I am
I'm workin' hard for those who need it
Yes, I am

Well, if you think that you can walk on me, kick sand in my face
You think that I'm not capable of puttin' you in your place
Let me tell ya, baby
Yes, I am
Yes, I am
Oh, baby, yes, I am
Yes, I am
Yeah, baby, yes, I am
Yes, I am
Oh, yes, I am
Yes, I am
