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