Man's got his woman to take his seed
He's got the power, oh
She's got the need
She spends her life through pleasing up her man
She gives him dinner and anything she can
She cries alone at night too often
He smokes and drinks and don't come home at all
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Man makes your hair gray
He's your life's mistake
And all you're really lookin' for is an even break
He lies right at you
You know you hate this game
He slaps you once in a while
And you live in love and pain
She cries alone at night too often
He smokes, drinks and don't come home at all
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Black eyes all of the time
Don't spend a dime
Ain't it a crime
And you're there down on your knees
Begging me please
Come watch me bleed
Come watch me bleed, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only, only women bleed
ย
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh-oh
I say only women bleed
Nobody else, nobody else, nobody else but women
Nobody else but women bleed, oh, oh, oh
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only, only women bleed
Only women bleed
