Born a Woman

(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 givin'

A woman's got to love and lose and go on livin'.



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

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

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



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

And to be his woman I'm glad it happened that way...
