Song title: A woman's got the power
(Notte, Bush) by The A's (Arista SP 107) 1981
A woman's got the power
When a man lays his cards on the table
Trying to make a name
Looking for a miracle
Looking for something that he does not know
Walking the streets and there's nowhere to go
When a man's got to fight to keep on dreaming
And the whole world seems like it's plotted and see man laying odds
if he's gonna lose
He's gonna need the strength that comes from you
A woman's got the strength
A woman's got the power
Keep a man up, never let him down... yeah
When a man's got to his bottom dollar
And his foolish pride fills with more than he can swallow
When it seems his shame is more than he can bare
And his hopes and dreams are fading into thin air
When a man finds he struggles in vain
And he's holding a losing hand playing a losing game
And he finds he's got his back to the wall
He needs you there to pick him up should he fall
A woman's got the strength
A woman's got the power
Keep a man up, never let him down
You've got to love him
Squeeze him
Hold him in your arms, never leave him
A woman's got the strength
A woman's got the power
When a man lays his cards on the table
Trying to make a name
Looking for a miracle
Looking for something that he does not know
Walking the streets and there's nowhere to go
When a man's got to fight to keep on dreaming
And the whole world seems like it's plotted and see man laying odds
if he's gonna lose
He's gonna need the strength that comes from you
A woman's got the strength
A woman's got the power
Keep a man up, never let him down... yeah
You've got to love him
Squeeze him
Hold him in your arms, never leave him
A woman's got the strength
A woman's got the power…..
I got the strength
I got the strength
I got the strength
I got the power
I got the strength
We got the power….
Everybody, Everybody got the strength, strength….
