Lyrics:

It aint a mans world (You go, girl!)
No more sugar and spice (And everything nice)
(Repeat)

Its a she thing, and its all in me (It aint nothin but a she
Thing,
I could be anything that I want to be baby
Dont consider me a minority Yeah, you know
Open up your eyes and maybe youll see Its a she thing
Its a she thing, and its all in me Strong, innocent, and
I could be anything that I want to be Intelligent lady
Dont consider me a minority Proud of who I am
Ladies help me out if you agree Its a she thing)

It aint nothin but a she thing (We are proud)
It aint nothin but a she thing (Say it loud)
It aint nothin but a she thing (On the rise)
It aint 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 youre a man
Cause Im a W-O-M-A-N
Thats 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 Im doin the same damn thing that he can
When Im aggressive then Im a bitch
When I got attitude you call me a witch
Treat me like a sex-object (That aint smooth)
Underestimate the mind, oh yeah, youre a fool
Weaker sex, yeah, right, thats the joke (ha!)
Have you ever been in labor? I dont think so, nope
Im a genuine feminine female thang
Can you hang? Aint nothin but a she thang

It aint nothin but a she thing (We are proud)
It aint nothin but a she thing (Say it loud)
It aint nothin but a she thing (On the rise)
It aint nothin but a she thing (You better recognize)

On the real Im 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 its time to get rough, baby, Im rough enough
Aint afraid to show how I feel down deep
Compassisionate but dont underestimate me
Im intelligent, wise, complicated being
With an instinct to dream and believe in the dreams
Familys first before anybody else (believe that)
Take care of them before I take care of self
Im a genuine feminine female thang
Can you hang? Aint nothin but a she thang

It aint nothin but a she thing (We are proud)
It aint nothin but a she thing (Say it loud)
It aint nothin but a she thing (On the rise)
It aint nothin but a she thing (You better recognize)

You got to understand its a she thang
We got the power, yeah, you know the deal
So you go, girl (You go, girl!), it aint no mans world
You can do anything (You can do anything), do what you feel

Excuse me, hold up...(Pep got the floor!)
Im 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)
Id like to give a shout out to the mamas out there (Shout it out)
Bringing up the babies with the tender loving care
Youre 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
Youre a genuine feminine female thang
Can you hang? Aint nothin but a she thang

It aint nothin but a she thing (We are proud)
It aint nothin but a she thing (Say it loud)
It aint nothin but a she thing (On the rise)
It aint nothin but a she thing (You better recognize)

Now let me break it down to the marrow of the bone
Im a female (go!), and I got it goin on (ya know)
Dont be fooled by my (S)-E-X
It aint that simple, Im more complex
Weve come a long way, and, baby, thats a fact
Lets keep moving forward, girls, never look back
Fight for your rights, stand up and be heard
Youre just as good as any man, believe that, word
