Man's got his woman
to take his seed
He's got the power - oh
She's got the need
She spends her life
through pleasing up her man
She feeds him dinner
or anything she can


She cries alone at night too often
He smokes and drinks
and don't come home at all


Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed


Man makes your hair gray
He's your life's mistake
All you're really lookin'
for is an even break


He lies right at you
You know you hate this game
He slaps you once in a while
and you live and love in pain


She cries alone at night too often
He smokes and drinks
and don't come home at all


Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed


Black eyes all of the time
Don't spend a dime
Clean up this grime
And you there down on your knees
begging me please come
Watch me bleed


Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
