How Strong Is a Woman Songtext
von Ann Peebles

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
