(repeat)

chorus
it´s a she thing, and it´s all in me (it ain´t nothin´ but a she
thing,
i could be anything that i want to be baby
don´t consider me a minority yeah, you know
open up your eyes and maybe you´ll see it´s a she thing
it´s a she thing, and it´s all in me strong, innocent, and
i could be anything that i want to be intelligent lady
don´t consider me a minority proud of who i am
ladies help me out if you agree it´s a she thing)

it ain´t nothin´ but a she thing (we are proud)
it ain´t nothin´ but a she thing (say it loud)
it ain´t nothin´ but a she thing (on the rise)
it ain´t nothin´ but a she thing (better recognize)

now i can bring home the bacon (yeah), fry it in the pan (yeah)
never let you forget that you´re a man
cuz i´m a w-o-m-a-n
that´s what i am, doin´ all i can
the thing that makes me mad and crazy, upset
got to break my neck just to get my respect
go to work and get paid less than a man
when i´m doin´ the same damn thing that he can
when i´m aggressive then i´m a bitch
when i got attitude you call me a witch
treat me like a sex-object (that ain´t smooth)
underestimate the mind, oh yeah, you´re a fool
weaker sex, yeah, right, that´s the joke (ha!)
have you ever been in labor? i don´t think so, nope
i´m a genuine feminine female thang
can you hang? ain´t nothin´ but a she thang

chorus

it ain´t nothin´ but a she thing (we are proud)
it ain´t nothin´ but a she thing (say it loud)
it ain´t nothin´ but a she thing (on the rise)
it ain´t nothin´ but a she thing (you better recognize)

on the real i´m a female doin´ what i feel
put me to the test, yes, i will get ill
sensitive and sweet, yeah, all that good stuff
but when it´s time to get rough, baby, i´m rough enough
ain´t afraid to show how i feel down deep
compassisionate but don´t underestimate me
i´m intelligent, wise, complicated being
with an instinct to dream and believe in the dreams
family´s first before anybody else (believe that)
take care of them before i take care of self
i´m a genuine feminine female thang
can you hang? ain´t nothin´ but a she thang

it ain´t nothin´ but a she thing (we are proud)
it ain´t nothin´ but a she thing (say it loud)
it ain´t nothin´ but a she thing (on the rise)
it ain´t nothin´ but a she thing (you better recognize)

you got to understand it´s a she thang
we got the power, yeah, you know the deal
so you go, girl (you go, girl!), it ain´t no man´s world
you can do anything (you can do anything), do what you feel

excuse me, hold up...(pep got the floor!)
i´m givin´ props to the strong women layin´ down the law
taking control of the wrongs in their life (hey)
standing up and turning all the wrongs to the right (ho)
i´d like to give a shout out to the mamas out there (shout it out)
bringing up the babies with the tender loving care
you´re in charge of the future of the nation
do the right thing, lay the foundation
to all the single mothers salt-n-pepa said, "keep your head up"
i know it gets hard sometimes but never let up
you´re a genuine feminine female thang
can you hang? ain´t nothin´ but a she thang

chorus

it ain´t nothin´ but a she thing (we are proud)
it ain´t nothin´ but a she thing (say it loud)
it ain´t nothin´ but a she thing (on the rise)
it ain´t nothin´ but a she thing (you better recognize)

now let me break it down to the marrow of the bone
i´m a female (go!), and i got it goin´ on (ya know)
don´t be fooled by my s-e-x
it ain´t that simple, i´m more complex
we´ve come a long way, and, baby, that´s a fact
let´s keep moving forward, girls, never look back
fight for your rights, stand up and be heard
you´re just as good as any man, believe that, word

chorus
