Ain't got no home, ain't got no shoes
Ain't got no money, ain't got no class
Ain't got no skirts, ain't got no sweaters
Ain't got no Perfume, ain't got no beard
Ain't got no mind

Ain't got no mother, ain't got no culture
Ain't got no friends, ain't got no schooling
Ain't got no love, ain't got no name
Ain't got no ticket, ain't got no token
Ain't got no God

What have I got?
Why am I alive anyway?
Yeah, what have I got?
Nobody can take away

I got my hair, I got my head
I got my brains, I got my ears
I got my eyes, I got my nose
I got my mouth, I got my smile

I got my tongue, I got my chin
I got my neck, I got my boobs
I got my heart, I got my soul
I got my back, I got my sex

I got my arms, I got my hands
I got my fingers, Got my legs
I got my feet, I got my toes
I got my liver, Got my blood

I've got life, I've got my freedom
I've got life, I'm gonna keep it
I've got life, I'm gonna keep it

    During a break-up women may have a socially imposed tendency to focus on what they're going to lose, and less on how bad they were treated or how any promise was never kept. This is an easy to understand and powerful song reminding them that a real smile on their face, which is not something they experienced a lot during their time with that man, worths a lot and much more than a lot of material objects they may or may not have. If a man was never reliable or treating you like you deserve, how is even possible to think something is going to change? You'll be losing something, but there is plenty you still have.
