With this here guitar I'm just tryin' to
make my way
But there are some mean ol' powerful people out
there
That don't wanna let me play
Cuz I'm a woman yeah, yeah, yeah
And I'm livin' in a man's world
Don't you feel sorry for me baby
Cuz I love my life as a guitar playin' girl
Yeah, yeah
Sometimes I've had to go twice as far
Sometimes I had be twice as good
Just to get half as much respect baby
Half as much as I should
Cuz I'm a woman yeah, yeah, yeah
And I'm livin' in a man's world
Don't you feel sorry for me baby
Cuz I chose this life as a guitar playin' girl
I chose this life
So don't you try to kid yourself
And think our opportunities are the same
Cuz I've been treated in ways baby
That would drive a man insane
Cuz I'm a woman yeah
Yeah, and I'm livin' in a man's world
I'm livin' in a man's world
Don't you feel sorry for me baby
Cuz I chose this life as a guitar playin' girl,
yeah, yeah
I chose this life
Now I don't want you to shed a tear
I don't want you to extend your sympathy
Cuz this ain't nothin' to complain about baby
It's just my reality that I'm a woman, yeah
Yeah, and I'm livin' in a man's world
Livin' in a man's world
Don't you feel sorry for me baby
Cuz I love my life as a guitar playin' girl, yeah
I love this life
