Lyrics Woman Up (And Take It Like a Man) - Dolly Parton

Is it easy?
No, it ain't
Can I fix it?
No, I can'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

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

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

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

Sing it, girls!
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

So woman up!
