Born A Woman Lyrics - Singles - Jean Shepard

I was born a woman I'm glad it happened that way 

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 

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 fin'lly 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 

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
