I'm A Woman (I'm A Backbone)

I am a species born to die
Understanding this, I hardly cry
Growin up and out, Ill marry you
Ill bear your kids and be your mama too cause
Cause Im a woman and Im a backbone
Im a woman and Im a backbone
Everybody needs one
Goin on I live from day to day
Give a little heart for my life to pay
Smile and then I need to cry
Never knowin if I lie (or die)
Understand you will not see me down
Both of my feet are on the ground
Come lay your head upon my chest
Ill love you hard, Ill give my best
