Born A Woman

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 hurt 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 hurt 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 And 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 I'm glad it happened that way
