Grown Woman

.

Pain it's only a little pain

It'll be gone in a couple of days

Or maybe a life or two

Heart it's only my poor heart

Just that little thing you tore apart

It ain't no headline news

.

But a grown woman should've known better

Than to treat me like some old lipstick

You use up and throw away

Hey, hey, hey

.

Time I wish I could turn back time

To when you were just a child

And teach you a thing or two

About love it's okay if you wanna give up

But there's a way to leave someone

And you don't have to be so cruel

.

Cause' a grown woman shoulda' known better

Than to treat me like some old dish rag

You use up and throw away

Hey, hey, hey

.

You're supposed to treat your lover

At least as good as your neighbor

So how could you, a grown woman

Not know no better

.

I ain't no old lipstick you use up and throw away

Cause' you're ready for another shade

Hey, hey, hey

.

You should've known better

Cause' you're a grown woman

.
