A Woman's Rant - Jo Dee Messina

6 A.M.

I’m out of bed, I stumble through the haze

Ain’t no coffee strong enough to get me through my day

One thing to another, there’s no time to stop

I hit the ground a runnin' and keep runnin' 'til I drop

I’m taking care of everyone, oh, my heads in a spin

I tried but I just don’t remember signing up for this

Before I leave the house, I pack a diaper bag with clothes and snacks

Laptop, cell phone, find my keys, feed the dogs before I leave

Everybody’s needs are my responsibility

It sure’d be nice to have somebody taking care of me, yeah

Why, why, why, why?

When I’m through with this life

I am gonna have a come to Jesus

You can guarantee

When I walk through those pearly gates

I am gonna have a talk with Eve

There’s so many things that I can’t begin to understand

The differences that are between a woman and a man

See woman they do twice the work and get half the pay

Men they climb the ladder while the women pave the way

They say we are the weaker sex, I’d have to disagree

I’d walk a mile in his shoes if he’d walk a half a mile in these

Why, why, why, why?

When I’m through with this life

I am gonna have a come to Jesus

You can guarantee

When I walk through those pearly gates

I am gonna have a talk with Eve

Botox, peels, exfoliate, we have the babies, lose the weight

Laundry, dishes, up all night, I try my best to get it right

Husband, kids, work all day, I got PMS and PTA

Find the thing my kid can’t find, I need a drink but there’s no time

So many things I have on my list

No wonder why at times

Oh I can seem like such a witch

Why, why, why, why?

When I’m through with this life

I am gonna have a come to Jesus

You can guarantee

When I walk through those pearly gates

I am gonna have a talk with Eve

Ha ha ha, what was he thinking?
