It’s a losing game I play
In a dog eat dog, show biz town
I’ve got a dream of my own
And I carry my own weight
But still they try to drag me down

I’m a woman in a man’s world
I’m a woman in a man’s world

So I’m fool enough to say
That a woman’s place is in the home
Working twice as hard
For the same reward as any man, yeah

For my very own
It’ll make me strong if I don’t give in
Cause the harder the fight
Oh, the sweeter the prize I’m sure to win
