|
words on my lips |
|
I try to fight them |
|
bitter and burning |
|
one spark can ignite them |
|
throws back his head |
|
and lights up a cigarette |
|
playing fire with fire |
|
I blaze into someone else |
|
as I say |
|
I don't mind |
|
been wasting time |
|
I've got better things |
|
to do with my life |
|
no battle cries |
|
be civilized |
|
'cause this time I'm gonna take it like |
|
I'm gonna take it like a woman |
|
why don't you take it like a man |
|
I'm not gonna cry, Oh! no |
|
just make you understand |
|
I can take it like a woman |
|
I've taken all I can |
|
I'm not gonna die, Oh! no |
|
I gonna take it like a woman |
|
slap on the wrist |
|
no further indictment |
|
this sister is learning |
|
her poetic licence |
|
throws back her head |
|
and lights up a cigarette |
|
playing fire against |
|
higher resistance |
|
she's someone else |
|
I don't mind |
|
been wasting time |
|
I've got better things |
|
to do with my love |
|
no battle cries |
|
be civilized |
|
this time I'm gonna take it like |
|
I'm gonna take it like a woman |
|
repeat chorus |
