AIN’T I A WOMAN (SINGING TRUTH)
Music and Lyrics by Pauline Jean


Verse 1
That man over there said, you should, open the door me.
That man over there said, you should, help me when I across the street
That same man over there said, you should, treated with the best
But what happened to me? What happened with the rest?

Chorus
Ain’t I a woman?
Look at me
Look at my arms, I have worked so hard
But you just can’t see

Ain’t I a woman?
I brought life into this world.
My baby boys, my precious girls
You, took away from me
Ain’t I a woman?

Verse 2
That man dressed in black said, you can’t have as much as me
He said, ‘cuz Christ wasn’t a woman, and that was his logic you see
But I said, excuse me little man over there, where did your Christ come from
He came from God and a woman, man had nothing to do with it son

Chorus
Ain’t I a woman?
Look at me.
Look at my heart, I have loved and nurtured
Despite my reality

Ain’t I a woman?
Try walking a mile in my shoes
You wouldn’t last a day or two
Noooo

Bridge
If the first woman God ever made was, strong enough to turn this world upside down. I have no doubt together, we’ll turn it right side up now, Turn it right now

Chorus
Ain’t I a woman?
Look at me
Look at my soul, I have lived and learned
You can’t silence me

Ain’t I a woman?
I am the backbone of this world
I am the truth. I am the first
Share my words, make them heard
Ain’t I a woman?
