"Take It Like A Woman" lyrics

I bet you never thought
That it would turn out like this
Mama's little girl
Daddy's little princess

But somewhere in your fairy tale
Everything went wrong
Now the sun don't shine
The words don't rhyme
They're out of time

You've been beaten down
Kicked around
On the ground
But you took it like a woman
Victimized, terrorized, paralyzed
But you took it like a woman
Pushed too far
Pulled too hard
Deeply scarred
I know you must have felt the pain
But you took it like a woman

You thought you'd get your Mr. Right
But he was really Mr. Hyde
You gave him your most precious gift
You were his bleeding bride
He tied you up, pulled your hair
He slapped your innocent face
Yeah, you were black-and-blue
He laughed at you
So what'd you do?

You've been beaten down
Kicked around
On the ground
But you took it like a woman
Victimized, terrorized, paralyzed
But you took it like a woman
Pushed too far
Pulled too hard
Deeply scarred
I know you must have felt the pain
But you took it like a woman

And so, it's over now
Your fantasy life is finally at an end
And the world above is still a brutal place
And the story will start again

You've been beaten down
Kicked around
On the ground
But you took it like a woman
Victimized, terrorized, paralyzed
But you took it like a woman
Pushed too far
Pulled too hard
Deeply scarred
I know you must have felt the pain
But you took it like a woman

Felt the pain
I know you must have felt the pain
But you took it like a woman
You took it like a woman
I know you must have felt the pain
You took it like a woman
I know you must have felt the pain
You took it like a woman
I know you must have felt the pain
But you took it like a woman
