I'm A Woman

I'm A Woman - Fontella Bass

I can wash out forty four pairs of socks

And have 'em on the line

I can starch and iron two dozen shirts

'Fore you can count from one to nine

I can slip up a great big dip up of lard

From a drippings can

Throw it in the skillet do my shopping

Be back before it melts in the pan

'Cause I'm a woman

W O M A N

I'll say it again

I can rub and scrub

'Til this house shinin' like a dime

Feed the baby grease the car

Powder my face at the same time

Get all dressed up

Go out swing 'til 4 a m and then

Lay down at 5 jump up at 6

And start all over again

'Cause I'm a woman

W O M A N

I'll say it again

If you come to me hungry

You know I'm gonna fill you full of grits

If it's lovin you're likin'

I'll kiss you and give you the shiverin' fits

'Cause I'm a woman

W O M A N

I'll say it again

I got a twenty dollar gold piece

Says there ain't nothing I can't do

I can make a dress out of a feed bag

And I can make a man out of you

'Cause I'm a woman

W O M A N

I'll say it again

'Cause I'm a woman

W O M A N

W O M A N
