Story Behind The Song

Despite kidding ourselves that we live in modern times, I still see evidence everywhere of caveman mentality in young men, where women are seen as status symbols and possessions. In this song and independant woman, having brought a guy home for a night of fun, ensures that his "mind is right" before they even start.

Song Description

A woman explaining the ground rules to a potential new lover

Lyrics

Verse 1
Take a look at my picture
You think that what you see
Is what you get?
You?d better not believe that
If you want to last

?Cause I got nothing that I need to prove here
There ain?t a single thing I want to hide
So let me introduce you
To my darker side

Lift1
There is no rest for the wicked
Do you think that?s true?
Please don?t be surprised
When this applies to you

Chorus
Don?t need nobody telling me that I just waste my time
Been disappointed by the love that I?ve found in my life
It may be hard
I may be scarred
But I am not your little girl

Verse 2
Are you ready for me baby?
Getting ready for the heart attack?
?Cause honey once I start
There is no turning back

I?m up for anything that you can think of
Take you any place you want to be
All I?m asking in return?s
A little honesty

Lift 2
There is no time like the present
Do you think that?s right?
Why don?t we check back
A little later on tonight



Chorus

Lift
Not the little girl
Who sits at home and wonders
How her life could ever be this way
I?m not waitin? round for somebody to call.

There?s not a single thing you do for me
I can?t do for myself
I?ve done it all

Please don?t think you?re in control?


Guitar solo

Drop down
Patience is a virtue
?though never one I?ve had
Sure that you still want this
Now you understand?
