Woman Part 1 by James Brown Lyrics
[Spoken Intro: Women]
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
Feel he's begun to fail
And when he can't win
He thinks he's in jail, tell me
[Chorus]
(Woman) Say it again
(Woman) Say it again
(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 trouble seem so soft
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
She'll never let you know when she feels bad
And she smiles when she feels sad
And once you - and when you feel blue, she knows her place
Right beside you, right beside you
And I wanna know
[Outro]
What makes men
Stop trying?
And who's the only one
Can stop a baby from crying? Ah
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
Feel he's begun to fail
And when he can't win
He thinks he's in jail, tell me
[Chorus]
(Woman) Say it again
(Woman) Say it again
(Woman) I ask you
[Verse 2]
