The Hell I Gave

Women's lib is makin' its stand
Well, my little woman, she turned into a man
I gotta find time to realize
All she wants to do is socialize
One more thing that I gotta make clear
I can't see me stayin' here, oh, yeah

It's getting too much, we can't pretend
I'd rather break then see you bend
Some slick talkin' people with the gift of gab
Try to tell you about the best they've had
Everybody's got the right to choose
But you better make yours very soon

I wish you were me
So you could see, yeah, the fools I see

She's giving me back the hell I gave
Never did want it anyway, ooh...
She's giving me back the hell I gave
Never did want it anyway

Now her heart is hittin' the red
And all our dreams have left her head
It cut me so fast, it sliced to the bone
All narrow and straight, rusty and cold
It's easy to bleed when you're walkin' on glass
But I'll never be free, baby, kissin' your ass

I wish you were me
So you could see, yeah, the fools I see

She's giving me back the hell I gave
Never did want it anyway, ooh...
She's giving me back the hell I gave
Never did want it anyway

All I got to do is make a stand
All she's got to do is understand
I ain't got no time for fools
There ain't nothin' that you can prove
It's so easy to be confused
It's so easy to cut you loose
There's no reason to take it so hard
'Cause I'll just turn and slowly fade away

Ooh!

She's giving me back the hell I gave
Never did want it anyway, no
She's giving me back the hell I gave
Never did want it anyway

She's giving me back the hell I gave
Never did want it anyway
She's giving me back the hell I gave, ooh...
She's giving me back the hell I gave
She's giving me back the hell I gave
