Born a Woman - Nick Lowe

It makes no difference if you’re rich or poor or even if you smart or dumb

A woman’s place in this whole world is under a strong man’s thumb

It must be heavy and it must be hard trying to make a little dent in life

A breeding feeling by your feet while loathsome wrestle light

'Cause if you’re born a woman, you’re born to be hurt

You were born to be lied to, stepped on, cheated on and treated like dirt

If you’re born a woman, you’re born to be hurt

A woman’s place is to give and give and then to give some more

And it’s so hard to understand what she’s giving for

The break of day to the dead of night at someone’s beck and call

A woman’s place in this whole world ain’t no place at all

'Cause if you’re born a woman, you’re born to be hurt

'Cause if you’re born a woman, you’re born to be hurt

You were born to be lied to, stepped on, cheated on and treated like dirt

If you’re born a woman, you’re born to be hurt

Born to be hurt

Born to be hurt

Born to be hurt

Born to be hurt

Born to be hurt

Born to be hurt
