Ah, Im a mean, mean woman<br />

And I don't mean no one man, no good, no.<br />

Im a mean, mean woman,<br />

I don't mean no one man, no good.<br />

I just treats em like I wants to<br />

I never treats em, honey like I should.<br />

<br />

Oh, lord, I once had a daddy,<br />

He said he'd give me everything in sight.<br />

Once had a daddy,<br />

Said he'd give me everything in sight.<br />

Yes, he did<br />

So I said, honey, I want the sunshine,<br />

You take the stars out of the night.<br />

Come on and give em to me, babe, cause I want em right now.<br />

<br />

I aint the kind of woman<br />

Whod make your life a bed of ease, ha ha ha ha!<br />

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.<br />

To make your life a bed of ease.<br />

That's hidin underneath it's horny shell.<br />

Whoa, whoa, oh yeah, like a turtle<br />

Hidin underneath it's horny shell.<br />

But you know Im very well protected <br />

I know this goddamn life too well.<br />
