Chaka Khan - Woman Like Me Lyrics

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
You 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, 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 (woman, woman, woman)
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
