This song is dedicated to all of the ladies From all of the men, ya know what I mean? Simply because y’all go through so much And we want you to know that we recognise that
There are… So many answers to the question what y’all do for us And so many reasons for the word why we love on y’all For instance how you just take us and lift us up Give us chance after chance and we still find a way to F things up And sometimes y’all go and blame yourself for the things we do Cuz you love us so much our lies become the truth Y’all try so, so hard to make things work Findin’ a way to smile just to keep from showin’ you’re hurtin’
It’s (your mind versus) it’s (your heart versus) It’s (your soul versus) your (your body) Versus (our bullshit) and (our egos) and (our pride) That’s why… (That’s why I love the word woman) (Oh I love… I love…) Y’all are so tough, y’all put up with so much (That’s why I love the word woman) (Oh I love… I love…) And y’all so full of trust, and besides y’all know us (That’s why I love the word woman) yes sir Time and time again y’all let us back in Man I love y’all so much I gotta spell it out (W-O-M-A-N)
That’s what it’s all about yeah… Sometimes I think that we’re the reason Why y’all be stressin’ out and smokin’ cigarettes Mmm yes I do And sometimes I think we’re the reasons y’all be snappin’ off on your kids And havin’ fits Somebody feel me Ladies when it’s that time of the month and y’all really don’t feel like being bothered And sometimes we take your hearts for granted I know y’all gotta ask your selves sometimes why do I even put up with it
It’s (your mind versus) it’s your (your heart versus) It’s your (your soul versus) it’s your (your body) Versus our (our bullshit) bullshit yeah (our egos) and our (our pride) That’s why… (That’s why I love the word woman) Said I love the word yeah (Oh I love… I love…) Cuz y’all are so, so tough, and y’all put up with so, so much (That’s why I love the word woman) (Oh I love… I love…) And y’all so full of trust, and besides y’all know us (That’s why I love the word woman) Time and time and time again y’all let us back in And I love you so much I’ve gotta spell it out (W-O-M-A-N)
Fellas just swallow your pride for a minute And grab your lady by the hand and sing… (Baby I’m sorry for the drama that I caused) Y’all are the backbone of every family as much as truth sing… (I recognise when a woman and a child go through) And I appreciate every single one of you… yes I do (Baby I promise from this day I will show respect) I promise to love y’all yeah… With all of my might yeah I’ll even burn a candlelight Because… We are here cuz y’all pay the price And that’s why I love…
(That’s why I love the word woman) (Oh I love… I love…) The word woman… oh Y’all put up with so much yeah (That’s why I love the word woman) And you’re so… (Oh I love… I love…) So full of trust, and y’all know us (That’s why I love the word woman) Yes sir, you’re soul survivors, of all the love battles, oh… (That’s why I love the word woman) Sisters, y’all cook our meals (Oh I love… I love…) Y’all wash our clothes Y’all are the love seeds planted in our souls (That’s why I love the word woman) When I think about the woman (Oh I love… I love…) I just get joyful inside When I just wanna break down and cry (That’s why I love the word woman) Listen ladies… Like a sister, lover, cousin or an Auntie, friend: my joy within My reason’s seasons you’re so pleasin’ You’re the lock and we’re the key Created by the almighty Forever as the birds and bees We love y’all until we stop breathin’… (That’s why I love the word woman)
