Lyrics of 'Heart Of A Woman' by R. Kelly

This song is dedicated to all of the ladies from all of the men
Simply because y'all go through so much
And we want y'all to know that we recognize that

There are so many answers to the question what y'all do for us
And so many reasons for the word why we love on y'all
For instance how you just take us and lift us up
Give us chance after chance and we still find a way to F things up
And sometimes y'all go and blame yourself for the things we do
Cause you love us so much our lies become the truth
Y'all try so so hard to make things work
Finding a way to smile just to keep from showing your hurting

(chorus)
It's your mind versus your heart versus your soul versus your body
Versus our bullshit and our ego and our pride
That's why I love the word woman (oh I love, I love)
Y'all are so tough y'all put up with so much
That's why I love the word woman (oh I love, I love)
And y'all so full of trust and besides y'all know us
That's why I love the word woman
Time and time again y'all let us back in
And I love y'all so much I gotta spell it out
W-O-M-A-N that's what it's all about, yeah

Sometimes I think that we're the reason why y'all be stressing out and smoking cigarettes, mmm yes I do
And sometimes I think we're the reasons y'all be snapping off on your kids and having fits, somebody feel me
Ladies when it's that time of the month and y'all really don't feel like being bothered
And sometimes we take y'all hearts for granted I know y'all gotta ask y'all selves sometimes why do I even put up with it

Chorus
It's your mind versus your heart versus your soul versus your body
Versus our bullshit and our ego and our pride
That's why I love the word woman (oh I love, I love)
Y'all are so tough y'all put up with so much
That's why I love the word woman (oh I love, I love)
And y'all so full of trust and besides y'all know us
That's why I love the word woman
Time and time again y'all let us back in
And I love y'all so much I gotta spell it out
W-O-M-A-N that's what it's all about, yeah

Fellas just swallow your pride for a minute and grab your lady by the hand and sing
Baby I'm sorry for the drama that I caused you
Y'all are the backbone of every family this much is true
I recognize being a woman the things y'all go through
And I appreciate every single one of you
Baby I promise from this day I will show respect
I promise to love y'all yeah
With all of my might yeah
I'll even burn a candlelight
Because we are here cause y'all paid a price
And that's why I love

(over chorus)
The word woman oh
Y'all put up with so much
And you're so, so full of trust
And y'all know us
The sole survivors, yeah
On the love battlefields
Sisters, y'all cook our meals
Y'all wash our clothes
Y'all are the love seeds planted in our souls
When I think about the woman
I just get joyful inside
Where I just want to break down and cry
Listen ladies
Like a sister lover cousin mother auntie friend my joy within
The reason she says you're so pleasing you're the lock and we're the key
Created by the Almighty
Forever as the birds and bees
We'll love y'all until we stop breathing
