Lyrics

WORK LIKE A MAN - Words and Music by WANITA

I wanna kiss little seals and hold baby ducks, everything not unkind
Bow and scrape for just a century if that’s what it’s gonna take
Be consumed and sometimes spat out, a figment of my mind
Dragged out by the bones of my ass, but I sat in the firing line.

Well, I work like a man and I love like a woman like an engine that just got primed
Bashed and kicked and forced to hold my back
Just to survive the times …. judged and dismissed
BAD little girl! well I wouldn’t tow the line
Well, I work like a man and I love like a woman
So that’s your problem not mine.

Well, they take control of common sense with the back of their hands
Society tells me I’m just a woman, indeed he’s my lovin’ man
I get confused and I lock the bathroom till they’re all nice again
The love of a teeny bitty woman is matched by a great big world.

Well, I work like a man and I love like a woman like an engine that just got primed
Bashed and kicked and forced to hold my back
Just to survive the times ….. judged and dismissed
BAD little girl! well I wouldn’t tow the line
Well, I work like a man and I love like a woman
So that’s your problem not mine.

Work like a man and I love like a woman like an engine that just got primed
Bashed and kicked and forced to hold my back
Just to survive the times …. judged and dismissed
BAD little girl! well I wouldn’t tow the line
Well, I work like a man and I love like a woman
So that’s your problem not mine.
