James Brown
Woman
[Intro]
I'm a woman
I'm a woman
I'm a woman
I'm a woman

[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 jealous of each other?
Sometime turn against his brother, now here's the reason:

[Bridge]
She makes a cloudy day seem bright
She makes a nightmare turn into the warmest night
You know, she makes troubles seem so, so
She can turn a hardship and she makes it so easy to cross
She brings life into the world, over and over again
No man in the world could ever bear those pains
[Verse 3]
She never lets you know, when she feels bad
And she smiles when she feels sad
And when you, and when you feel blue
She know her place right beside you

[Chorus]
(A woman, a woman) Right beside you
(A woman) And I wanna know...

[Verse 4]
What makes men stop tiring?
And who's the only one, 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
(A woman, a woman, a woman)
Oh, I'll scream, I fell so good I just wanna say
Thank you, thank you for being so nice
(A woman, a woman, a woman)
Oh, YIIIEAW! Love, thank you for being so good, so sweet, yeah
(A woman, a woman, a woman)
Ow, yaw, I...
