Artist/Band: Jan Howard
Lyrics for Song: Born a Woman
Lyrics for Album: Bad Seed [Decca] [1966]



(Martha Sharp)



It makes no difference if you're rich or poor

Or if you're smart or dumb

A woman's place in this old world

Is under some man's thumb



And if you're born a woman

You're born to be hurt

You're born to be stepped on

Lied to cheated on and treated like dirt

Oh, if you're born a woman you're born to be hurt.



A woman's lot is to give and give and go on giving

A woman's got to love and lose and go on living

Well I was born a woman I didn't have no say

And when my man fin'lly comes home

He makes me glad it happened that way.



Because to be his woman no price is too great to pay

Yes, I was born a woman, I'm glad it happened that way

Oh, I was born a woman, I'm glad it happened that way...
