Same old second chances
Give you time and time again
Same old insufficient answers
Maybe I should just pretend
Another vase of day-old roses
And you say you just needed space
And we keep going through the motions
When we should go our separate ways

Hard times, hard times
When I really need somebody to hold me tight
And tell me I'm strong
Last night, last night
You were really there for me, so thank you
For playin' along
But I gotta be honest with ya, baby
This is not about love

Being a woman is a full-time job
I wake up in the morning and I punch the clock
And people tell me, "Take it easy" but they don't say to stop
Being a woman is a full-time job
(Being a woman is a full-time job)
Being a woman is a full-time job
And I work all-day
And I work all night

Hello
I'm not gonna bite you
Just want a light
You got me wishing that I never said
Hello
Don't wanna fight you
I don't got a right to
This is what I get for being civilized

He's a tall drink of gin
With a world-weary grin
And he always says just what he means
Even as he draws you nearer
Sees himself in the mirror
I think, "How did he get in those jeans?"
Yeah, yeah

Allow me to introduce myself
I am the hottie you roll with, and I
I am a body, a soul, and a mind
Lately, you left me behind

Now we don't seem to talk anymore
We used to kick it like Joe and Obama
Now you just leave me at home playin' mama

Said I'm head over heels
And I'm dying, I'm dying to know
If you feel like you did long ago
'Cause it feels like the last time
I fell in love with you
It's those same shudders and shakes
Up my spine and down to my toes
But do you feel it too?

If you're gonna tell them everything
Tell 'em I'm a good kisser
Tell 'em all the things you told me
In your desperate whisper
If you're gonna tell them everything
Don't leave out the good part
Tell 'em the way that you broke my heart
When you told me that you missed her

The first time you came around
I knew that I wanted you
I didn't want to let it out
I was playing it cool, playing it cool

The second time you came around
I could tell it wasn't getting through
I really tried to spell it out

You tell the people and the papers what they ought to believe
You wave a shiny metal object where you want 'em to see
But there's a flame and I saw you fan it
All while you saying you'd save the planet
And now you want us to be quiet you won't get it for free
So let me get some of that
Hush money, give it, yeah, yeah, yeah
('Cause I got some bills to pay)

Obviously, we're at the beginning of something
I don't expect you to know where it's gonna go
But I believe we might be onto something
And I just thought maybe you should know
I've been playing out a lot of hypotheticals in my mind
I've been writing your name down next to mine
Been imagining all the things you and I could do, ooh, ooh
I've seen all the possibilities in my dreams

Hate casts a long shadow
I know that I lie in it
And let it rule my mind from time to time
Escapin' an old battle
That clings on like a vine to me
Whispers dirty lies in my ear
I know we didn't start this fight
And I won't let it rule my heart tonight

Can I tell you that it's too late
That the rain will pour on in time
Many times that I ignored you
And it ain't even crossed your mind
If you feel the urge to see me
Well you'd best pretend you're blind
I don't mean to be unkind
But all the reasons I left you behind

I'm so good on you, I'm so good on this
You could tell me you love me and I wouldn't give a shit
You really missed the mark, you really dampened the spark
The more you fan the flame, the more it diminishes
Never had I such a lackluster lover
There's no passion to discover
You're just a lackluster lover
Why do I keep goin' round in circles for you?

To the next generation, Merry Christmas
You're working harder than ever now and the coffee sucks
You know, Colombia and Kenya got too damn hot
And now you're making do with what you've got
(Everybody knew)
Reading all the same headlines
Blowing through the traffic signs
Looking for the cops

I know the outcome
And I'm not blind
I've been standing right here before
And I do it every time

I never think I lose,
But it's a losing game
And I'm breaking all the rules

You said I, I didn't do anythin' wrong
But there must have been somethin' I could've done better
Oh, oh you said I, I didn't do anythin' wrong
But there must have been somethin' I could've done better

Did you want me at home more?
Was I runnin' around more than you liked, me leavin' you?
Did you want more alone time?

Lay down, girl
The summer's coming home
Take off your makeup
And take off your shoes
Trade in a dress for something
Oversized and let your mind go
Wherever you choose
Don't try to be a woman anymore

Everybody's tryin' to track us down
Drivin' circles 'round this tiny town
And I get lost, baby
Tryin' to shake 'em off
And I get tired
Wrestlin' with my jealous mind
I don't care if it's a sunny day
No construction in the passin' lane

I just wanna love you
I just wanna try
I ain't always the subject
Of a thousand prying eyes
I worry about the gossip
Do you think that will be fine?
There ain't no way to stop it
So I won't change my mind

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
This is the last time I will talk about you
I will say your name
I will play your game
Sarah, you can be sure
This is the first time no one gives into you
No one hides their shame

I know you know me as the girl who's always alone
I know you never see me take anybody home
I know you never see me cry
Never see me say goodbye
Now we're kissing on the sly

But I don't think you know what I feel inside
Can't you see this is only the beginning?

So long
Why you gone away?
For so long?
Why don't you just stay?
Where you belong?
And then we'd never have to say, so long.

So long

You don't need a team of lawyers looking for evidence
You don't need a piece of paper trying to prove your intent
To be free
You don't need to look back, easy, if you said what you meant
You don't need your heart running at a hundred percent
All you need
I don't need a deposition to believe what you said
I don't need a crystal ball to hear the thoughts in your head

Would it be true to say that I ordered you
Or is it you that ordered me?
I could say you are the only one I see
But I can't stop at two or three

And I am afraid to need you so
And I am too sober not to know
That you may be my problem, not my love
