Only Women Bleed

Elkie Brooks

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 feeds him dinner or 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 grey, he's your life's mistake
All you're really looking 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 and love in 
pain

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

Black eyes all of the time
Don't spend a dime
Ain't it a crime
And you there down on your knees 
Begging me please come watch me bleed

Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
