I´m a mean, mean woman
I don´t mean no one man no good
I´m a mean, mean woman
I don´t mean no one man no good
I just treats ´em like I wants to
Never ever treats ´em honey, like I should

Oh lord I once had a daddy
He said he´d give me everything in sight
Once had a daddy
Said he´d give me everything in sight
I said Hon, I want the sunshine
And take the stars out of the night

I ain´t the kind of woman
Who´d make your life a bed of ease
I´m not the kind of woman
To make your life a bed of ease
Yeah, but if you just wanna go out drinkin´, honey
Invite me along please

I guess I´m just like a turtle
Hidin´ underneath his horny shell
Just like a turtle
Hidin´ underneath his horny shell
But you know I´m very well protected
I know this doggone life too well

Oh, they call me mean, people call me evil
I´m not the kind of woman you can mess around
They call me mean, people call me evil
I´m not the kind of woman you can mess around
But I´m gonna take good care of Bonnie, yeah
There ain´t no one gonna talk me down...
