“WOMAN” LYRICS
By ROYAL
Whistle at me baby as I walk on by
Comment on my body, tell me I’m on fire (on fire)
Promise me that position, if I get on top
Extra, extra, read about it ladies
“it’s time to step it up”
Don’t underestimate the way I scheme
I’ve got a pocket full of matches and some kerosene
You call me “woman” like it’s a bad thing
Where’d you be without my tender nurturing?
I’m a woman
Say it like you mean it
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I’m a woman
Breaking through the ceiling
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I’m a boss babe
Making it all happen
I don’t need a man to get me where I want to be
I’m a woman
We can rule the world girls
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Make me feel unworthy
Strip away my pride
Ask if my emotions can handle 9 to 5
Say it in the locker room and you think that it’s alright
Don’t think that we don’t see through it
Your act is getting tired
Don’t underestimate the way I scheme
I’ve got a pocket full of matches and some kerosene
You call me “woman” like it’s a bad thing
Where’d you be without my tender nurturing?
I’m a woman
Say it like you mean it
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I’m a woman
Breaking through the ceiling
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I’m a boss babe
Making it all happen
I don’t need a man to get me where I want to be
I’m a woman
We can rule the world girls
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Watch me take on the world
Running a hundred miles a minute
Balance family and work
Like I’m a gold medal winner
Uh-huh! Uh-huh!
I’m a woman
Say it like you mean it
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I’m a woman
Breaking through the ceiling
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I’m a boss babe
Making it all happen
I don’t need a man to get me where I want to be
I’m a woman
I’m a woman
I’m a woman
