Karaoké Woman Neneh Cherry

You gotta be fortunate

You gotta be lucky now

I was just sitting here

Thinking good and bad

But I'm the kinda woman that was built to last

They tried erasing me

They couldn't wipe out my past

To save my child

I'd rather go hungry

I got all of Ethiopia inside of me

And my blood flows through every 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 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 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

Woman

This is a woman's world

This is my world

Woman

This is a woman's world for this man's girl

Woman

There ain't a woman in this world

Not a woman or a girl

Woman that can't deliver love to a man's world

And my blood flows through every man and every child

In this godless land that delivered me

I've cried so many tears even the blind can see

Woman

This is a woman's world

This is my world

Woman

This is a woman's world for this man's girl

Woman

There ain't a woman in this world

Not a woman or a girl

Woman that can't deliver love in a man's world

Woman

Oh

This is a woman's world

Woman

Woman

Woman

Woman
