Songtext Woman like me Chaka Khan

Woman like me

She's more than her body
More than her ass in some jeans, let's be clear
More than her makeup
More than the lace front that she chose to wear
She is your sister
She is your mother, your daughter, your girl
Better remember
It was a woman who brought you in this world

Every girl ain't a stripper or on the internet tryna hustle
Even if she was, who are you to judge? You don't even know her struggle
So watch what you say
Stones that you're throwing may come back, come back your way

She's your strength when you're weak
Without her, where would you be?
'Cause the world ain't a thing without a woman, a woman like me
She's the earth, she's the key
She's your whole life energy
'Cause the world ain't a thing without a woman, a woman, woman like me
Oh (oh)

She ain't no side piece
No mistress, no trophy you put on your shelf
Please don't mistake her
She's more than a plaything you buy with your wealth
You better respect her, the same way that you want respect for yourself
And for the record, ain't shit getting done without her help

Baby girl need a real man who gon' hold it down, fight for her
Lift her up, don't tear her down, give her real love, not control her (oh)
So watch what you say
Stones that you're throwing may come back, come back your way

She's your strength (she's your strength) when you're weak (when you're weak)
Without her, where would you be? (oh, where would you be?)
'Cause the world ain't a thing without a woman, a woman like me
She's the earth, she's the key (she's the key)
She's your whole life energy (whole life, yeah)
'Cause the world ain't a thing without a woman, a woman, woman
Woman like me

Like me
Woman like me
A woman like me
