I'm A Woman Lyrics

I'm a woman
yes I am double-u o m a n
I'm a woman
yes I am
Say it loud 'n proud like only woman can
I'm a woman
yes I am double-u o m a n
I'm a woman
yes I am
And I ain't gonna be no plaything no no any man
No no no
I ain't no.

Before you're even born they hope you: you'll be a boy
Father needs a boy
mother needs a toy
Girls gotta be sweet
boys must be strong
If you don't play house or dolls there must be something wrong.
And this goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on
And then they preach and teach you right from wrong.
Till you're out there on your own when you meet your tirst love John
Wild as he can beEtta Cameron - I'm A Woman - http://motolyrics.com/etta-cameron/im-a-woman-lyrics.html
he'll be the one to teach you how to love
He'll teach you how to say:

I'm a woman
yes I am double-u o m a n
. . .

And now you wear his name and every day's the same
You cook
clean
watch tv and play same silly game
Each night you sit and wait
a man's always late
Your head quite sure of where he is
Maybe he's got a date on and on and on and on and on and on and on
Sometimes I feel like giving up call it a day
We're victims of our sex in a world of nervous wrecks
Look what they've done to the world
Those Johns and Bills and Jacks

I'm a woman
yes I am double-u o m a n
. . .
