I M A Woman lyrics

I can wash out 44 pairs of socks and have `em hangin out on the line
I can starch & iron 2 dozens shirts `fore you can count from 1 to 9
I can scoop up a great big dipper full of lard from the drippins can
Throw it in the skillet, go out & 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 & scrub this old house til it`s shinin like a dime
Feed the baby, grease the car, & powder my face at the same time
Get all dressed up, go out and 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 sickly you know I`m gonna make you well
If you come to me all hexed up you know I`m gonna break the spell
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 can stretch! a green black dollar bill from here to kindom come!
I can play the numbers pay the bills and still end up with some!
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, and that`s all.
