I am a species born to die
Understanding this I hardly cry
Growing up and out I'll marry you
I'll bear your kids and
be your mama too cause
Cause I'm a woman
and I'm a backbone
I'm a woman and
I'm a backbone
Everybody needs one
Going on I live from day to day
Give a little heart for my life to pay
Smile and then I need to cry
Never knowing if I lie or die
I'm a woman
I'm a backbone
I'm a woman
I'm a backbone
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
I'm a woman
I'm a backbone
I'm a woman
I'm a backbone
I'm a woman
I'm a backbone
I'm a woman
I'm a backbone
I'm a woman
I'm a backbone
I'm a woman
I'm a backbone
