Lyrics for How Strong Is a Woman

There seem to be some conflict As to who the strongest is Some would say it's hard to tell When they're both bringing home the check I heard a woman say she could do Anything any man can But I'm here to tell you That the woman that said it Ain't even have herself a man Now if you wanna know How strong is a woman? How strong is a woman? Well I can tell you that A woman is as strong as the need Of the man she loves A woman is as strong as the need Of the man she loves Once I had a mind to join The women's liberation But that was before I'd been touched by love's sweet sensation Now it takes all my strength To make my man feel tall Girl, I'd rather be weak in love Than to have no love at all If you wanna know How strong is a woman? How strong is a woman? Well I can tell you that A woman is as strong as the need Of the man she loves A woman is as strong as the need Of the man she loves How strong is a woman? How strong is a woman? Well I can tell you that A woman is as strong as the need Of the man she loves A woman is as strong as the need Of the man she loves A woman is strong Only if she got no man A woman is strong 'Til love takes a hand A woman is strong If she's all alone A woman is strong When love and pretty babies comes along
