I'm A Woman (i'm A Backbone) Lyrics - Rufusized - Rufus

I am a species born to die 

Understanding this, I hardly cry 

Growin' up and out, I'll marry you 

I'll bear your kids and be your mama too cause 

(CHORUS): 

Cause I'm a woman and I'm a backbone 

I'm a woman and I'm 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) 

(CHORUS) 

Understand you will not see me down 

Both of my feet are on the ground 

Come lay your head upon my chest 

I'll love you hard, I'll give my best
