I'M a Woman

I left my parents behind,
My name change, my home too
I followed you on a life time journey 
I feed your hungry belly 
And your raging shaft too

I'm a woman, treat me right 

For nine months, 
I walk around the world
Carrying inside me another you
The little you, Bradley 
A bearable burden just for love

I'm a woman, care for me

Before anything,
You come first
In my mind, nothing else matter 
I breathe for you ,
And will die for you 

I'm a woman, respect me

Don't call me weak
Don't call me irrelevant 
I can make you sick
I can kill you too
My strength is mightier than a typhoon 

I'm a woman, my power is immeasurable
