[Verse 1]
I was insecure
Yes, I was frightened
To be myself seemed like a distant dream
Lost in the crowd
I closed the curtains
And I hid my hips and thighs in baggy jeans
[Pre-Chorus 1]
But they said: "Love, don't fail if you're trying"
I knew in my heart I would succeed
When times get hard, you gotta keep on fighting
All these battles, yes, they made the best of me
[Chorus]
'Cause, I can rule like a queen
Be a superhero
Hold my head high the further I go
I know I can love myself more than anyone else
I am fire and the world's gotta know
[Post-Chorus]
Woman (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm a woman (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Verse 2]
When this life is full of laughter
And the lies are full of pain
I remember how the early days were darker
And so I stand up, time and time again
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Now, I'm sure
Oh yes, I'm certain
If I'm breaking down, well, it don't make me weak
'Cause I learnt how to stop the hurting
By giving all my love right back to me
[Chorus]
'Cause, I can rule like a queen
Be a superhero
Hold my head high the further I go
I know I can love myself more than anyone else
I am fire and the world's gotta know
[Post-Chorus]
Woman (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm a woman (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Woman (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah, I'm a woman (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah
[Chorus]
'Cause, I can rule like a queen
Be a superhero
Hold my head high the further I go
I know I can love myself more than anyone else
I am fire and the world's gotta know
[Post-Chorus]
Woman
I'm a woman (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Woman
(Yeah, a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful woman)
Yeah, I'm a woman
Yeah
