SOME MEN SAY A WOMAN IS MADE FROM A RIB
WITH A HEART THATS BLACK AND A TONGUE THATS GLIB
WORK YOUR FINGERS TO THE BONE
THEY SAY A WOMAN'S PLACE IS IN THE HOME

YOU WASH 16lbs OF DIRTY OLD CLOTHES
YOU WORK AND SWEAT RIGHT DOWN TO YOUR TOES
YOUR HUSBAND COMES HOME AND WHAT DO YOU GET
HOW COME MY DINNER AINT READY YET

GET UP IN THE MORNING AT A QUARTER TO SIX
FIVE OR SIX BREAKFASTS YOU GOTTA FIX
GOTTA DO YOUR IRONING AND MOP UP THE FLOOR
YOU NEVER GET THRU TILL A QUARTER TO FOUR

YOU GET SIXTEEN BUCKS TO RUN THE HOUSE
FROM YOUR OH SO SWEET EVERLOVIN SPOUSE
St PETER, DONT YOU CALL ME 'CAUSE YOU'RE OUT OF LUCK
I OWE MY SOUL AND EVERY LAST BUCK

I WAS MARRIED ONE MORNING IT WAS DRIZZLING RAIN
I GAVE HIM MY LOVE AND HE GAVE ME HIS NAME
THAT'S ALL HE EVER GAVE 'CEPT A COUPLE OF THINGS
AN ARMY OF KIDS AND A $2 RING

I GOT 16lbs OF BLACK EYED PEAS
A DOLLAR'S WORTH OF THOSE AND A FEW OF THESE
IT DONT LEAVE YOU NOTHIN' TO PAY YOUR BILLS
IF THE LANDLORD DOESN'T GET YOU THEN THE TAXES WILL

A WOMAN'S LOT IS A SORRY ONE
YOU GOTTA COUNT CALORIES AND THAT AINT FUN
GOTTA WEAR A GIRDLE JUST TO PLEASE HIM
YOU GOTTA LOOK PRETTY AND YOU GOTTA LOOK TRIM

YOU GAIN 16lbs AND WHAT DO YOU GET
A REAL DIRTY LOOK FROM YOUR OLD MAN YET
St PETER DONT YOU CALL ME 'CAUSE  I CANT GO
I'M GETTIN' TOO HEAVY TO PASS THRU THE DOOR
