Chaka Khan - I’m A Woman lyrics

I am a species born to die<br>Understanding this, I hardly cry<br>Growin' up and out, I'll marry you<br>I'll bear your kids and be your mama too cause<br><br>Chorus:<br>Cause I'm a woman and I'm a backbone<br>I'm a woman and I'm a backbone<br><br>Everybody needs one<br><br>Goin' on I live from day to day<br>Give a little heart for my life to pay<br>Smile and then I need to cry<br>Never knowin' if I lie (or die)<br><br>Chorus<br><br>Understand you will not see me down<br>Both of my feet are on the ground<br>Come lay your head upon my chest<br>I'll love you hard, I'll give my best
