Strength of a Woman Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I am woman, hear me out
Never claiming to be something I'm not
Don't want what's yours, just want what's mine
Not tryna take over, I just want my spots

[Pre-Chorus]
How can life go on without me here?
It's impossible, oh, oh
All the pain endured to give life
And we keep giving and giving and giving and that's the

[Chorus]
Strength of a woman
Is the, I'll be the rock when you needed the pill for your sleep
I am woman, you know
And I shouldn't have to prove it 'cause it's just what I do
I am woman

[Verse 2]
Not saying move over, I'm just here to help
That's what God made me for, you ain't gotta build by yourself
You got your pride, don't let it make you blind
Don't need to be walking behind, you're better with me by your side

[Pre-Chorus]
How can life go on without me here?
It's impossible, oh, oh
All the pain endured to give life
And we keep giving and giving and giving and that's the
[Chorus]
Strength of a woman
Is the, I'll be the rock when you needed the pill for your sleep
I am woman, you know
And I shouldn't have to prove it 'cause it's just what I do
I am woman
Strength of a woman
Is the, I'll be the rock when you needed the pill for your sleep
I am woman, you know
And I shouldn't have to prove it 'cause it's just what I do
I am woman

[Bridge]
We're the wisdom like a guiding light
We're the trees left standing through the storms of life
We've gone so high and we've come so far
Can't hold us back

[Chorus]
Strength of a woman
Is the, I'll be the rock when you needed the pill for your sleep
I am woman, you know
And I shouldn't have to prove it 'cause it's just what I do
I am woman
Strength of a woman
Is the, I'll be the rock when you needed the pill for your sleep
I am woman, you know
And I shouldn't have to prove it 'cause it's just what I do
I am woman

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
