Always a Woman
[MR HART]
Huh! Uh! Good God!

They think they'll get by with these gadgets and ties
And sticking a rag in my mouth, and in my house!
They best think again, cause I won't let them win
This show's gonna end without doubt! I'll get out!

It's always a woman. Always a woman
They'll cut you down, saw you off at the knees
It's always a woman. Always a woman
They'll squeeze 'em, till you beg and plead

Women just use us, they trick us and confuse us
Like Adam, and Sampson, and John! Poor John!
His head on a platter, no choice in the matter
Now I'm not Baptist, but I have been conned!

It's always a woman. Always a woman
They're wicked and we gave a rib up for that
But they wrote the sequel, and made themselves equal
Yeah, women don't care about the facts!

Ah, can I get some help now? A little help now?
I mean it, can I get some friggin' help over here?
