It makes no difference if you're rich or poor, or if you're smart or dumb, a woman's place
in this old world is under some man's thumb.
And if you're born a woman, you're born to be heard.
You're born to be stepped on, lied to, cheated on, and treated like dirt.
Ah, if you're born a woman, you're born to be heard.
A woman's lot is to give and give, and go on giving.
A woman's got to love and lose, and go on living.
Well, I was born a woman.
I didn't have no say.
But when my man finally comes home,
he makes
me glad it happened that way.
Because to be his woman, no price is too great to pay.
Yes, I was born a woman.
I'm glad it happened that way.
Oh, I was born a woman.
And I'm glad it happened that way.
Oh, I was born a woman.
And I'm glad it happened that way.
Oh, I was born a woman.
I'm glad it happened that way.
