Ah, I'm a mean, mean woman,
|
I don't mean no one man, no good, no.
|
I'm a mean, mean woman,
|
I don't mean no one man, no good.
|
I just treats 'em like I wants to,
|
I never treats 'em, honey like I should.
|
|
Oh, Lord, I once had a daddy,
|
He said he'd give me everything in sight.
|
Once had a daddy,
|
Said he'd give me everything in sight.
|
Yes, he did.
|
So I said, "Honey, I want the sunshine,
|
You take the stars out of the night.
|
Come on and give 'em to me, babe, 'cause I want 'em right now."
|
|
I ain't the kind of woman
|
Who'd make your life a bed of ease, ha ha ha ha!
|
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
|
I'm not the kind of woman, no,
|
To make your life a bed of ease.
|
Yeah, but if you, if you just wanna go out drinkin', honey,
|
Won't you invite me along, please.
|
Oh, I'll be so good to ya babe, yeah!
|
Whoa, go on!
|
|
I guess I'm just like a turtle
|
That's hidin' underneath its horny shell.
|
Whoa, whoa, oh yeah, like a turtle
|
Hidin' underneath its hard-ass shell.
|
But you know I'm very well protected ?
I know this goddamn life too well.
|
|
Oh! Now call me mean, you can call me evil, yeah, yeah,
|
I've been called much worser things around,
|
Honey, don't ya know I have!

Whoa, call me mean or call me evil

|
