I got Gmall of Ethiopia, inDmside of me
And my Gmblood flows, through eDmvery man
In this Agodless land, that delivered me
I've cried so many tears even the blind can see
This is a woman's world
This is my world
This is a woman's world
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 world
I've born and I've bread, 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 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 my world
This is a woman's world
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
To a man's world
 Gm|  Dm|  Gm|  D/F#   Dm|  Gm|  Dm|  Gm|  D/F#  Dm  
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
This is a woman's world
This is my world
This is a woman's world
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 world
Oh, this is a woman’s world
