Only Women Bleed - Etta James, Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson

Man’s got his woman to take his seed

He’s got the power, yeah and she’s got the need

She spends her life through pleasing up her man

She feeds him dinner or anything she can

She cries alone at night too often

And I smoke and drink I don’t come home at all

Only women bleed

Only women bleed

Only women bleed

Only women bleed

And man makes your hair gray, I’m your life’s mistake

All you’re really lookin' for is an even break

I lie right at her you know you hate this game

I slaps her once in a while she live and love in pain

She cries alone at night too often

And I smoke and drink I don’t come home at all

Only women bleed

Only women bleed

Only women bleed

Only women bleed

Black eyes all of the time don’t spend a dime

Clean up this grime and you there down on your knees

Begging me please come watch me bleed

Only women bleed

Only women bleed

Only women bleed

Only women bleed

Only women bleed

Only women bleed

Only women bleed
