Woman. won't you tell me what you know

Something here I don't understand

I recall a solemn vow

Not very long ago

About a woman

Standing by her man.

Chorus:

Did you ever love me

Like a dream like I had hoped

Or did you only want

To quench your thirst

Was it just a race

To each the end of the rope

Baby can't you see

I got there first.

Little girl, don't wonder

If you've got the upper hand

There's nothing I don't already know

Now you've made crystal clear

That you don't give a damn

Now I think it's time for me to go.
