Sister C - Faint of Heart lyrics

Hey little girl climbing high up in that tree With your muddy bare feet and scrapes on both your knees Double dog dare from the boy next door Anything he can do you can do more So you're up there, trying to prove that you're not scared If things only stayed as simple as those days Back when being fast meant you're gonna win that race When a hoe was a tool in the garden shed Pa**ing home base meant you're team was ahead at the ball game, when you grow up that'll all change But you can get knocked up, you can get knocked down Yea you paint your nails and lips and eyes s** it in and work it out You're uptight if you don't go far enough Easy if you go too far Being a woman, ain't for the faint of heart So you dress up pretty, and you sit with your legs crossed Cause the boy who copied all your tests is now your boss and he makes more money than you'll ever bring home Cause you gotta double x chromosome That's the way it is, maybe time's gonna change it But you can get knocked up, you can get knocked down Yea you paint your nails and lips and eyes s** it in and work it out You're uptight if you don't go far enough Easy if you go too far Being a woman, ain't for the faint of heart Yea we all get together and complain that it ain't fair But in the end we'll outlive 'em by 15 years And still have all our hair But you can get knocked up, you can get knocked down Yea you paint your nails and lips and eyes s** it in and work it out You're uptight if you don't go far enough Easy if you go too far Being a woman, ain't for the faint of heart Cause being a woman, ain't for the faint of heart
