This song is dedicated to all of the ladies from all of the men

Simply because y'all go through so much

And we want y'all to know that we recognize 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

Cause you love us so much our lies become the truth

Y'all try so so hard to make things work

Finding a way to smile just to keep from showing your hurting

(chorus)

It's your mind versus your heart versus your soul versus your body

Versus our bullshit and our ego and our pride

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

Time and time again y'all let us back in

And 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 stressing out and smoking cigarettes, mmm yes I do

And sometimes I think we're the reasons y'all be snapping off on your kids and having 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 y'all hearts for granted I know y'all gotta ask y'all selves sometimes why do I even put up with it

Chorus

It's your mind versus your heart versus your soul versus your body

Versus our bullshit and our ego and our pride

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

Time and time again y'all let us back in

And I love y'all so much I gotta spell it out

W-O-M-A-N that's what it's all about, yeah

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 you

Y'all are the backbone of every family this much is true

I recognize being a woman the things y'all go through

And I appreciate every single one of you

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 cause y'all paid a price

And that's why I love

(over chorus)

The word woman oh

Y'all put up with so much

And you're so, so full of trust

And y'all know us

The sole survivors, yeah

On the love battlefields

Sisters, y'all cook our meals

Y'all wash our clothes

Y'all are the love seeds planted in our souls

When I think about the woman

I just get joyful inside

Where I just want to break down and cry

Listen ladies

Like a sister lover cousin mother auntie friend my joy within

The reason she says you're so pleasing you're the lock and we're the key

Created by the Almighty

Forever as the birds and bees

We'll love y'all until we stop breathing
