If I Say I'm a Woman

Verse 1

Chrome

Cold steel

My boots hit the asphalt

I find a different kind of strength

Hardened

Heavy

I cut the fabric

I wear the lace

I run the race

New face

Chorus

If I say I am a woman

If I say I am a woman

You better treat me like one

You better treat me like one

Give me the respect I earned

Give me the respect I earned

If I say I am a woman

Post-Chorus

Yeah

One

Yeah

One

Verse 2

Stare

Look at me now

Look at the way I stand

Bold and bitter and bright

Mirror

Mirror

I see the truth

No more hiding

No more lying

No more dying

Inside

Chorus

If I say I am a woman

If I say I am a woman

You better treat me like one

You better treat me like one

Give me the respect I earned

Give me the respect I earned

If I say I am a woman

Bridge

Broken barriers

Broken brawls

Broken bones

I am rising

I am reaching

I am ruling

Do not test me

Do not doubt me

Do not deny me

Guitar Solo

Chorus

If I say I am a woman

If I say I am a woman

You better treat me like one

You better treat me like one

Give me the respect I earned

Give me the respect I earned

If I say I am a woman

Outro

Treat me like one

Treat me like one

I am a woman

I am a woman

Now

Yeah
