[Verse 1]
Sickly sweet candy beat
In a fragrant greasy spoon
Knock back black coffee
Work until the afternoon

[Hook]
She hardly sleeps
She hardly eats
She hardly breathes
When you're in her breathing space

[Verse 2]
Cat calling white van patrolling
The streets as she walks from work
Rip hard and jeer from afar
As he sits with a drooling smirk

[Hook]
She hardly sleeps
She hardly eats
She hardly breathes
When you're in her breathing space

[Pre-Chorus]
She brushes it off
Like she always does
Drops through the subway
Disappears with the flood
[Chorus]
I am a woman
And I am a woman
I am a woman
I am a woman

[Verse 3]
She comes home, I hear her moan
The walls are paper thin
His friends come 'round
They pass her 'round
Her head goes round the bend

[Hook]
She hardly sleeps
She hardly eats
She hardly breathes
When you're in her breathing space

[Pre-Chorus]
She brushes it off
Like she always does
Puts on her makeup
Faces the day

[Hook]
As she hardly sleeps
She hardly eats
She hardly breathes
When you're in her breathing space
[Chorus]
I am a woman
And I am a woman
I am a woman
And I am a woman
And I am your mother
I am your sister
And I am your daughter
I am a woman
