Lyrics I'm a Woman, I'm a Person (Io donna, io persona) - Mia Martini

I was known as a cover girl
In a book that was made for men only
You could see me in any pose, super sexy, scintillating

Life for me was a happy weather, but I wanted my body only
But there's more than my body shows
I'm a woman with a brain

I am a woman, I am a person
Do you have to treat me like a tramp?
That's not what I'm living for no, ooh
I am a woman, I am a person
And I never ask for more
Is it wrong to simply want to be just a woman, just a person?

There were lovers who loved me well
It was part of my way of living
Like a gypsy one I was free, 'til I feel for women only
But it made every day a hell, he was taking, I was giving
Though his love made a fool of me
I'm the woman he most loved

I am a woman, I am a person
Do you have to treat me like a tramp?
That's not what I'm living for ooh
I am a woman, I am a person
And I never ask for more
Is it wrong to simply want to be just a woman?

I am older and wiser now
Time has changed it, all the world around me
But my sexy never sets me free, my body's still the main attraction

And I can't get away somehow
All these candles surround me
But I'm a person who wants to be just a woman that is me

I am a woman, I am a person
Do you have to treat me like a tramp?
That's not what I'm living for ooh
I am a woman, I am a person
And I never ask for more
Is it wrong to simply want to be just a woman that is me?
