"Woman Up (And Take It Like A Man)" lyrics - DOLLY PARTON

Is it easy?
No, it ain't
Can I fix it?
No, I cain't
But I sure ain't gonna take it lyin' down
Will I make it?
Maybe so
Will I give up?
Oh, no
I'll be fightin' 'til I'm six feet underground

[Chorus:]
I'm gonna woman up and take it like a man
I'm gonna buckle up, be tough enough
To take control and make demands
Look like a woman, think like a man
Be as good as or better than
Gotta woman up and take it like a man

Do I want to?
No, I don't
Will I surrender?
No, I won't
It's a long hard life for a gal, but I gotta live it
And it's a dang shame if you ask me
Workin' so hard just to be free
Whatever it takes, then I'm more than glad to give it!

[Chorus:]
So I'm gonna woman up and take it like a man
Gotta buckle up, be tough enough
To give 'em hell and take command
Soft like a woman, strong like a man
Stick to my guns and have a plan
Gotta woman up and take it like a man

[Bridge:]
A rough road, we'll walk it
Never give up, we'll talk it
Soon enough, we can chalk it
Up to experience and payin' dues
And I'll speak my truth!

[Chorus:]
Sing it, girls!
I'm gonna woman up and take it like a man
And I'm gonna buckle up, be tough enough
To take control and make demands
Look like a woman, think like a man
Be as good as or better than
Gonna woman up and take it like a man
I am, I am
I'm gonna woman up and take it like a man
I am, I am
I'm gonna woman up and take it like a man

[Outro, spoken]
So woman up!
