Women Is Losers” from her first album

Women is losersWomen is losers, ohSay honey women is losers.Well, I know you must try, Lord,And everywhereMen almost seem to end up on top.
Oh, if they told you they want youSay come around by your door.Whoa I say now, if they don’t desert you,They’ll leave you and never be here for more.Oh yeah!
Women is losersWomen is losersWomen is losers, Lord, Lord, Lord!!!So now I know you must-a know,Lord, it’s true,Men always seem to end up on top.
They wear a nice shiny armorUntil there is a dragon for to slay.Any day now,Course with men beggin’ to pay ‘emThen they’ll turn and run away, oh!
Women is losersWomen is losersWomen is losers, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord!!!So I know you must-a know, Lord,AnywhereMen almost seem to end up on top, oh!
