Born a Woman

It makes no difference

If you're rich or poor

Or if you're smart or dumb

A woman's place in this old world

Is under some man's thumbAnd if you're born a woman

You're born to be hurt

You're born to be stepped on

Lied to, cheated on

And treated like dirtAh, if you're born a woman

You're born to be hurt

A woman's lot is to give and give

And go on giving

A woman's got to love and lose

And go on livingWell, I was born a woman

I didn't have no say

And when my man finally comes home

He makes me glad it happened that way

Because to be his woman

No price is too great to pay
