Hey, I'm a mean, mean woman
I don't mean no one man no good
ย
Hey, I'm a mean, mean woman
I don't mean no one man no good
I just treat them like I wants to
I never treat someone like I should
ย
I once had me a daddy
Said he'd give me everything in sight, yes he did
Wow, I once had a daddy
Said he'd give me everything in sight
So I said, "Honey, I want the sunshine
You'll take the stars out of the night"
You wanna give 'em to me, baby, right now, yeah!
No, I, I ain't the kind of woman
Who'd make your life a bed of ease
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
I'm not the kind of woman
To make your life a bed of ease
Yeah, but if you just wanna go out drinking, honey
Won't you invite me along, please?
I'll be so good to you, yeah!
ย
Yeah, I guess I'm just like a turtle
Hiding underneath its horned shell
Now I guess I'm like a turtle
Hiding underneath its horned shell
But you, you know I'm well protected
I know this goddamn life too well
Oh, well, call me mean, even call me dirty
I've been called much worse things
You know I have
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Call me mean or call me dirty, baby
I've been called much, much, much worse things
Yeah, but I'm gonna take good care of Janice
Honey, no one gonna dog me down
Alright, that's all
