Those early days
Who said, patience never pays?
It´s a man´s world you´re living in
But that don´t mean
You have to start giving in
When he says, woman there´s a place for you
That don´t mean that´s what you have to do
There´s a gift somebody gave to you
It´s called talking
And saying out loud
My mama never knew but I do, I do
My mama never knew
Oh she never knew
But I do, yes I do
Oh my mama she never knew
It was late in life
When my mama started to fight
She said man, boy what the hell are you
Gonna break up this room with a word or two
If it seems I ain´t good enough for you
Then you know just what you have to do
Pack your bags honey, take you life with you
Go on walk out that door
I won´t say it no more
