I Am Woman
-peak Billboard position # 1 for 1 week in 1972
-Words and Music by Helen Reddy and Ray Burton
I am woman, hear me roar
In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an' pretend
'cause I've heard it all before
And I've been down there on the floor
No one's ever gonna keep me down again
CHORUS
Oh yes I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to, I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman
You can bend but never break me
'cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my final goal
And I come back even stronger
Not a novice any longer
'cause you've deepened the conviction in my soul
CHORUS
I am woman watch me grow
See me standing toe to toe
As I spread my lovin' arms across the land
But I'm still an embryo
With a long long way to go
Until I make my brother understand
Oh yes I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to I can face anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman
Oh, I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong
FADE
I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong
I am woman

Just sussed it out by listening:
Lonely women are the desperate kind
And I'm hanging at the end of a line
Losing hope when the call doesn't come
It's a feeling I choose over feeling numb
Then you stumble in
And I am tumbling back where it begins
Cause you can spread my wings
and send a thousand dreams
To pull a million strings with emotion
And you can fill my nights
Oh, and blow out all my lights
Till I see nothing but my emotions
My emotions
I'm running out of ways of making you care
As hard as I try you know it just isn't fAIR
For all I give I'm only getting old
When I think; I'm finally back in control
OH
Then you stumble in
And I am tumblin back where it begins
Cause you can spread my wings
and send a thousand dreams
To flood a million streams with emotion
And you can fill my nights
Oh, and blow out all my lights
Till I see nothing but my emotions
My emotions
And you can spread my wings
and send a thousand dreams
To flood a million streams with emotion
And you can fill my nights
