[ Featuring Neneh Cherry ]
You gotta be fortunate
You gotta be lucky now
I was just sitting here
Thinking good and bad
But I'm the kind of 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
Got all these wounds that just won't heal
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
Woman, this is a woman's world
This is my world
This is a woman's world
For this man's girl
Woman, there ain't a woman in this world
Not a woman or a girl
That can't deliver love in this man's world
I've born and I've bred
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 I've been called a liar
I've died so many times
I'm more than just coming to life
Woman, this is a woman's world
This is my world
This is a woman's world
For this man's girl
Woman, there ain't a woman in this world
Not a woman or a girl (woman)
That can't deliver love
And my blood flows
Through every man and every child
In this godless land that delivered me
I've cried so many tears even the blind can see
Woman, this is a woman's world
This is my world (woman)
This is a woman's world
For this man's girl
Woman, there ain't a woman in this world
Not a woman or a girl (woman)
That can't deliver love in this man's world (woman)
