How Strong Is a Woman Songtext
von Etta James

There seems to be some conflict to who′s the strongest sex
Some say it's hard to tell when they both bringing home a check
I heard a woman say she can do anything any man can
But I′m here to tell you that the woman that said it
Didn't even have a man

Now, you wanna know, how strong is a woman?
Hey, hey, now, how strong is a woman?
Well I can tell you that
A woman is as strong as a need for the man she loves
A woman is as strong as a need for the man she loves


Once I had a mind to join a woman's liberation
That was before I was touched by love′s sweet sensation
Now, if it takes all my strength, gonna make my man feel tall
Girl, I′d rather be weak in love than have to no love at all

Do you wanna know how strong is a woman?
How strong is a woman?
Well, I can tell you, now
That a woman is as strong as a need for the man she loves
A woman is as strong as a need for the man she loves

Hey, hey, now, how strong is a woman?
Do you wanna know, now, how strong is a woman?
A woman is as strong as a need for the man she loves
A woman is as strong as a need for the man she loves

A woman is strong, only if she ain't got no man
A woman is strong, yeah, until love takes her by the hand, yeah
