The world is full of intolerance
Greed, injustice, and dominance
A woman, a woman knows, knows relationships
And that's why, why I make, make my little trips
So, if there's a problem
It's really better this way
Oh, I don't need the president
I'll get my little bag and say
Please, don't (oh, no)
Don't let them look down on us
Please, don't (woo!)
Like they used to do to me
Nixon, Castro, Zhou Enlai
Qaddafi, it's easy, and I'll tell you why
A woman knows just how to do, only rub his leg
He understood my point of view, so I don't have to beg
So, if there's a problem
It's really better this way
I don't need the president
I'll get my little bag and say
Please, don't (please, don't) (ah)
Don't let them look down on us
Please, don't (please, don't)
Like they used to do to me
Ronald Reagan, Mao Zedong
They're all the same
Kissinger, Anwar Sadat
Let me explain
Talk a bit, a little dance
Champagne on ice
An hour or two relationship
We're friends for life
So, if there's a problem
It's really better this way
Oh, I don't need the president
I'll get my little bag and say
Please, don't
Don't let them look down on us
Please, don't (please, don't)
Like they used to do to me
Please, don't (please, please, don't)
Don't let them look down on us
Please, don't (oh, no)
Like they used to do to me
