woman
what am I supposed to do
woman
to get along with you
I read your books
I read your poems
there's things I'll do
and there's things I won't
there's things to know
that ain't been wrote
how'm I sposed to keep on down this road
woman
how am I supposed to feel
woman
is half this stuff even real
I kicked the nest
and I done been stung
I can see the gallows
where I'm gonna be hung
maybe someday if we're lucky we'll find
a little bit a truth underneath the lies
I been living in you
you been living in me
I'll keep it real
you keep if free
tell me why it's gotta be
so hard
america, girl
what's goin on?
woman
why's it gotta be so hard
woman
to know who you really are
I talked to yer ma
I talked to yer pa
I talked with the devil
I talked with god
I consulted the east
I went to the west
nobody could tell me which was best
I been living in you
you been living in me
I'll keep it real
you keep if free
tell me why it's gotta be
so hard
america, girl
what's goin on?
