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
