You know I was taught
to respect all women
But there's this special kind of woman
That I can't help but admire
And that's that strugglin' lady
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You might see her walkin'
down the street
That strugglin' lady
She's only out there to
make ends meet
That strugglin' lady
That strugglin' lady
Listen, you're not gonna see
her in the welfare line
She's got too much pride,
she's not the beggin' kind
She said, as long as I have
my health and strength
If I don't work,
it don't make no sense
I admire that strugglin' lady
That's tryin' to
feed her hungry babies
That strugglin' lady
Although her man might be gone
That hard -workin' lady
That strugglin' lady
She becomes the mother
and the father of a home
That strugglin' lady
That strugglin' lady
Here's another thing
She's not the kind that's
gonna treat you wrong
She's the kind that treats you right
An d every time she touches something
You can always see the light
shining through
That struggling lady,
just trying to feed her hungry babies
Yeah, strug gling lady,
just trying to feed those babies
I wanna tell you this
She works as long as
she knows she's able
That strugglin' lady
That strugglin' lady
She says, I'm gonna always keep food
on my children's table
That strugglin' lady
That strugglin' lady
Hey now, she'll work
both day and night
That hard -workin' lady,
that strugglin' lady
She'll make some deserving man
a real good wife
That strugglin' lady,
that strugglin' lady
Strugglin' lady, strugglin' lady
Just tryin' to feed those hungry babies
That strugglin' lady
Struggling, struggling lady,
I want to take my hat off to you honey,
yeah
Struggling lady,
I want to tell you,
you're a hell of a wo man,
and I love you honey
Struggling Lady,
I gotta help that Struggling Lady
That Struggling Lady
Struggling Lady,
just try ing to feed her hungry babies
That's all she's doing
Struggling Lady,
trying to keep food on her table
That's my play
