Lyrics

Yes, I got a hot-headed woman And she always carries a knife Yes, I got a hot-headed woman And she always carries a knife Well, I say every time she gets mad Yes, she's ready to take somebody's life She gets hot in the head And she jumps and gets a knife She had me down on my knees Begging for my life 'Cause she's a hot-headed woman And she always carries a knife Well, I say every time she gets mad Yes, she's ready to take somebody's life Watch out, Danny, man She started sharpening up her knife And that fool began to cry She threatened to cut my throat And drink my blood for wine 'Cause she's a hot-headed woman And she always carries a knife Well, I say every time she gets mad Yes, she's ready to take somebody's life She locked all the doors And she nailed the windows down And she grabbed that knife From under her evening gown 'Cause she's a hot-headed woman And she always carries a knife Well, I say every time she gets mad Yes, she's ready to take somebody's life
