"Hen In The Foxhouse" lyrics

"Hen In The Foxhouse"

I'm just a hen in the foxhouse
A pigeon set amongst the cats
I'm just a hen in the foxhouse
A pigeon set amongst the cats
A sheep in wolf's clothing
And there ain't no changing that

I met a man last Sunday
Thought he had me at hello
And wasn't he surprised
When I looked at him and said no
He kept on coming at me
The answer to his every wish
Wasn't he surprised when he walked into my fist

I'm just a hen in the foxhouse
A pigeon set amongst the cats
I'm just a hen in the foxhouse
A pigeon set amongst the cats
A sheep in wolf's clothing
And there ain't no changing that

I'm a woman in man's world
And there ain't no changing that
And boys they will be boys
Fighting over every cat
They jockey for position
Stand head to head each day
But I really don't care how big it is
As long as you keep it out of my way
Just keep it out of my way

I'm just a hen in the foxhouse
A pigeon set amongst the cats
I'm just a hen in the foxhouse
A pigeon set amongst the cats
A sheep in wolf's clothing
And there ain't no turning back
