Rose ~ When was the 1st time you ever heard the blues

[In_The_Wind]

... and you know what I told them ?
You know what I tol' them?

I told them it was the day I was born !

You know why,
You know why?

Cause I was born a WOMAN !

Oh, being a woman is so interesting, don't ya find it

What are we?
What are we, Ladies?

We are Waitresses at the Banquet of Life!
Get into that kitchen and rattle them pots and pans,
and ya better look pretty god damn good doin it too
or else you're gonna lose a good thing!

Oh and why do we do that?
Why do we do that?

I'll tell ya why we do that?
We do that to find love!

Oh, I love to be in love!!!
Don't you love to be in love?

Ain't it just grand ...layin there late at night in your bed, waiting for your man to show up?
And when he finally does!(long 'bout 4:00 in the morning!)
with whiskey on his breath...
and the smell of another woman on his person...
I can smell another woman at 500 paces!
THAT'S an easy one to catch!

So what do you do, when he comes home with wiskey on his breath, and the smell of another woman on his person?
Do you say "Honey, let Me open my lovin' arms, and my lovin' legs...dive right in ,Baby, the water is fine?" Is that what you say,girls! (?)

Or do you say, "Pack your bags!"
I'm puttin' on my little waitress cap, and my fancy high heeled shoes,and
I'm gonna go find me a real Man! A good man! A true Man.
A man to love me for sure!
I tell ya somethin' I tell ya somethin'...I thought, one time I did, I actually thought I found myself one ...


When he held me in his arms,
when he held me in his arms and said,
"Baby, baby, baby, you are the only one for me."

When a man loves a woman,
can't keep his mind on nothing else.
He'll trade the world
for the good thing he found.
Yeah, if she's bad, he can't see it.
She can do no wrong.
Turn his back on his best friend
if he put her down.

When a man loves a woman,
spend his very last dime
tryin' to hold on to what he needs.
Give up all his comforts,
go out and sleep out in the rain,
if she says, "Baby, that is how it's gonna be."

When a man loves a woman,
give up everything that he has,
tryin' to hold on to her precious love,
cryin, "Baby, baby please don't treat me bad."

When a man loves a woman
down deep in his soul,
she can bring him such misery.
If she's playin' him for a fool
he's the last one to know.
Lovin' eyes don't ever see.

So, this man says he loves me, he loves me.
He gives me everything, everything,
everything that he has,
tryin' to hold on to my precious love,
cryin', "Baby, baby, baby, don't you, don't you
treat me, treat me bad."
Ohhhh, oh I need him.

Yeah, when a man loves a woman
he can do her no wrong.
He could never hold another girl.
Why you tell me you love me, baby,
and run out ah-ah-ah-on the sly?
Baby, baby, this is a man's world.
No, no.
Oh, baby, change has got to come
in this man's world.
