Jamali Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Respect
Is not much to ask
I can't keep living on life's demands
I'm taking my stand as a woman
I had the last
It's 'cause of your selfish ways that made me write this song
To all the woman
That's seen as
No-one
I a woman
I was born independent, so don't disrespect me no more
Oh, no
I am a woman
So don't underestimate the power of this woman
I feel
Whatever you say
You can't get in my way
I'm done with abuse
And you're sorry for an excuse
I'm leaving you
And I'm taking my kids too
Now you're on your own
The payback for the love you should have shown
Oh, I a woman (I am a woman)
I was born independent, so don't disrespect me no more (So don't disrespect me no more)
Oh, no (Oh no)
I am a woman
So don't underestimate the power of this woman (The power of this love)
Oh no
I'll tell you something boy, since you think you've got me figured out
You can't tell me what to wear
What to do or where to go
Oh, yeah
Let me sing it again
I'll tell you something boy, since you think you've got me figured out
You can't tell me what to wear
What to do or where to go (Oh, yeah)
(Oh, the power of this love)
Oh no
I a woman (I am a woman)
I was born independent, so don't disrespect me no more (Don't disrespect me no more)
Oh, no (Oh no)
I am a woman
So don't underestimate the power of this woman (Underestimate the power)
Oh no
I a woman (I am a woman)
I was born independent, so don't disrespect me no more (So don't disrespect me no)
Oh, no
I am a woman (I am a woman)
So don't underestimate the power of this woman (The power of the woman)
Let me sing it again
Oh no
I a woman (I am a woman)
I was born independent, so don't disrespect me no more (Oh no, oh no)
Oh, no
I am a woman
So don't underestimate the power of this woman (The power of the woman)
Oh no
