born a woman

Nick Lowe

It makes no difference
If you're rich or poor
Or even if you smart or dumb
A woman's place in this whole world
Is under a strong man's thumb
You must be heavy and you must be hard
Trying to make a little dent in life
A breeding feeling by your feet
　
* Cos if you're born a woman
You're born to be hurt
You're born to be lied to stepped on,
shitted on
And treated like dirt
If you're born a woman
You're born to be hurt
　
A woman's place is to give and give
And then to give some more
And this old heart to understand
What she is giving for
Wake up in the dead of night
At someone's beck and call
A woman's place in this whole world
Ain't no place at all
Cos, if ou're born a woman
You're born to be hurt
