You gotta be   fortunate  , you gotta be   lucky now  
I was just   sitting her  e, think  ing good and bad   
But I'm the   kinda woman  , that was   built to last  
They tried e  rasing me  , but they couldn't   wipe out my past  
 
 
To   save my child, I'd rather go   hungry
I got   all of Ethiopia, in  side of me
And my   blood flows, through e  very man
In this   godless land, that delivered me
 
I've cried so many tears even the blind can see
 
 
This is a   woman's   world this is m  y world    
This is a   woman's wo  rld for   this man's girl    
There ain't   a woman in   this world   not a woman   or a little girl
That can't   deliver   love in a man's worl  d                 
 
 
I'v  e born and I've bread,   I've cleaned and I've fed
And   for my healing wits, I  've been called a witch
I'v  e crackled in the fire,   and been called a liar
I've   died so many times, I'm only just coming to life
 
 
This is a   woman's   world this is m  y world    
This is a   woman's wo  rld for   this man's girl    
There ain't   a woman in   this world   not a woman   or a little girl
That can't   deliver   love in a man's worl  d                 
 
 
(Instrumental) :  |  |  |     |  |  |  |     
 
 
My   blood flows, through every man and   every child
In this   godless land, that delivered me
I cried so many tears even the blind can see
 
 
wo  man's wor  ld this is my w  orld       
wo  man's world   for thi  s man's girl       
wo  man's wor  ld this is my w  orld       
wo  man's world   for thi  s man's girl . .   .
(Ad lib.)
