Sister C - Faint Of Heart Lyrics
Verse IHey little girl climbing high up in that treeMuddy bare feet and scrapes on both your kneesDouble dog dare from the boy next doorAnything he can do you can do moreSo you’re up there, trying to prove that you’re not scaredIf things only stayed as simple as those daysBack when being fast meant you’re gonna win that raceWhen a hoe was a tool in the garden shedPassing home base meant you’re team was aheadAt the ball game, when you grow up that’ll all changeChorusYou can get knocked up, you can get knocked downYea you paint your nails and lips and eyesSuck it in and work it outYou’re uptight if you don’t go far enoughEasy if you go too farBeing a woman, aint for the faint of heartVerse IISo dress up pretty, and sit with your legs crossedCause the boy who copied all your tests is now your bossHe makes more money than you’ll ever bring homeBecause you gotta double x chromosomeThat’s the way it is, maybe time’s gonna change itChorusBut you can get knocked up, you can get knocked downYea you paint your nails and lips and eyesSuck it in and work it outYou’re uptight if you don’t go far enoughEasy if you go too farBeing a woman, aint for the faint of heartBridgeWe’ll all get together and complain that it ain’t fairBut in the end we’ll outlive em by 15 yearsAnd still have all our hairChorusBut you can get knocked up, you can get knocked downYea you paint your nails and lips and eyesSuck it in and work it outYou’re uptight if you don’t go far enoughEasy if you go too farBeing a woman, aint for the faint of heart
