James Brown
Woman (7" Version)
[Verse 1]
What makes a man break up inside?
And what makes a man give up his pride?
What makes a man, heh, feel he's begun to fail?
And when he can't win, he thinks he's enjailed? Tell me

[Chorus]
(A woman) Say it again
(A woman) Say it again
(A woman) I ask you...

[Verse 2]
What makes men stop tiring?
And who's the only one, who can stop a baby from crying?
The supreme being will always beat you in eye seeing
The supreme being will always beat you in eye seeing
Because...

[Pre-Chorus]
He knows, he's made you only
So he decided to, to make a woman
So you wouldn't be lonely

[Chorus/outro]
(A woman) Say it again
(A woman, a woman) I wanna stop right here, and...
(A woman) I wanna say a woman's prayer right here
(A woman, a woman)
Thank you for being such a bright shining star
(A woman, a woman, a woman)
And thank you for being as wonderful as you are
(A woman, a woman, a woman)
Oh, I'm so glad I got a good woman
(A woman, a woman, a woman)
Every man, every man, not only needs
But he's got to have a woman
(A woman, a woman, a woman)
My mother was a woman, and she still is, as sweet as she...
(A woman, a woman, a woman)
Your mother's a woman, and I know you love her, and she still is...
