Sossity You're A Woman lyrics

Hello, you straight-laced lady

Dressed in white but your shoes aren't clean

Painted them up with polish

In the hope we can't see where you've been

The smiling face that you've worn

To greet me rising at morning

Sent me out to work for my score

Please me and say what it's for

Give me the straight-laced promise

And not the pathetic lie

Tie me down with your ribbons

And sulk when I ask you why

Your Sunday paper voice cries

Demanding truths I deny

The bitter-sweet kiss you pretended

Is offered, our affair mended

Sossity, you're a woman

Society, you're a woman

All of the tears you're wasting

Are for yourself and not for me

It's sad to know you're aging

Sadder still to admit I'm free

Your immature physical toy

Has grown too young to enjoy

At last your straight-laced agreement

Woman, you were too old for me

Sossity, you're a woman

Society, you're a woman
