Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This song is dedicated to all of the ladies
From all of the men
You nah mean?
Simply because ya'll go through so much
And we want ya'll to know that we recognize that
[Verse 2]
There are
So many answers to the question, what ya'll do for us?
And so many reasons for the word, why we love on ya'll
For instance, how ya just take us and lift us up
Give us chance after chance
And we still find a way to F things up
And sometimes, ya'll go and blame yourself
For the things we do
'Cause you love us so much, our lies become the truth
Ya'll try so, so hard to make things work
Finding a way to smile just to keep from showing your hurtin'
[Verse 3]
It's
Your mind vs
It's
Your heart vs
It's
Your soul vs
Your
Your body
Vs
Our bullshit
And
Our ego's
And
Our pride
That's why
That's why I love the word woman
(Oh, I love, I love)
Ya'll are so tough
Ya'll put up with so much
That's why I love the word woman
(Oh, I love, I love)
And ya'll so full of trust
And besides, ya'll know us
That's why I love the word woman
Yes sir
Time and time again
Ya'll let us back in
Man, I love ya'll so much, I gotta spell it out
W-O-M-A-N
That's what it's all about, yeah
[Verse 4]
Sometimes I think that we're the reason why
Ya'll be stressin' out and smokin' cigarettes
Mmm
Yes, I do
And sometimes I think we're the reasons
Ya'll be snappin' off on your kids
And having fits
Somebody feel me
Ladies, when it's that time of the month
And ya'll really don't feel like being bothered
And sometimes we take ya'll hearts for granted
I know ya'll gotta ask ya'll selves sometimes
Why do I even put up with it?
[Verse 5]
It's
Your mind vs
It's your
Your heart vs
It's your
Your soul vs
It's your
Your body
Vs our bullshit, yeah
Our bullshit
Our ego's
And our
Our pride
That's why
That's why I love the word woman
Said, I love the word yeah
(Oh, I love, I love)
'Cause ya'll are so, so tough
And you put up with so much
That's why I love the word woman
(Oh, I love, I love)
And ya'll so full of trust
And besides, ya'll know us
That's why I love the word woman
Time and time and time again
Ya'll let us back in
And I love ya so much I've gotta spell it out
W-O-M-A-N
Fellas, just swallow your pride for a minute
And grab yo lady by the hand and sing
[Verse 6]
Baby, I'm sorry for the drama that I caused you
Ya'll are the backbone of every family
This much is true, sing it
I recognize being a woman and what ya'll go through
And I appreciate every single one of you
Yes, I do
Baby, I promise, from this day, I will show respect
I promise to love ya'll, yeah
With all of my might, yeah
I'll even burn a candle light
Because we are here 'cause ya'll paid a price
[Verse 7]
That's why I love the word woman
And that's why I love, yeah
(Oh, I love, I love)
The word woman
Oh, ya'll put up with so much, yeah
That's why I love the word woman
And you're so
(Oh, I love, I love)
So full of trust
And ya'll know us, yes sir
That's why I love the word woman
You're soul survivors, yeah
All the love battles, oh
That's why I love the word woman
Sisters, ya'll cook our meals, hey
Ya'll wash our clothes, hey
Ya'll are the love seeds planted in our souls (Hey, hey)
That's why I love the word woman
When I think about the woman
(Oh, I love, I love)
I just get joyful inside
Where I just wanna break down and cry
That's why I love the word woman
Ah, listen ladies
Like a sister, lover, cousin, mother, auntie, friend
My joy within
My reason, seasons, you're so pleasing
You're the lock and we're the key
Created by the Almighty
Forever as the birds and bees
We'll love ya'll until we stop breathing
That's why I love the word woman
(Oh, I love, I love)
I dedicate this to every woman I've ever loved
(Yeah)
