GI was born a D7woman I'm glad it happened that Gway
It makes no D7difference if you're rich or poor
Or Cif you're smart or Gdumb
A Cwoman's place in this Gold world is A7under some man's D7thumb
GAnd if you're born a D7woman you're born to be Ghurt
You're born to be Cstepped on lied to
Cheated on and treated like Gdirt
If you're born a D7woman you're born to be Ghurt
A woman's D7lot is to give and give Cand go on Ggiving
A Cwoman's got to Glove and lose A7and go on D7living
Well GI was born a D7woman I didn't have no Gsay
And when my man finally Ccomes home
He makes me glad it happened that Gway
Because to be his D7woman no price is too great to Gpay
Yes I was born a D7woman I'm glad it happened that Gway
Yes I was born a D7woman I'm glad it happened that Gway
