No no no no Mi Lord, we don't need you Monsieur
Your protection, your friendship, your luck
No no no no Mi Lord, walk out the door Mi Lord
Quite frankly we don't give a ****
No no no no Mi Lord, just walk away Monsieur
You can't scare us we're all kinds of tough
Oui oui oui oui Mi Lord, walk out the door Mi Lord
When it comes to you we've all had enough
You threaten us with fire, you threaten us with guns
But can't you see, nous sommes des soeurs
We've already won
Intimidation only works on the weak
and we're the strongest gals you'll ever meet
No no no no Mi Lord, qu'es ce que t'on veut Monsieur?
We ain't got no cash, ain't got nothing to lose
Oui oui oui oui Mi Lord, walk out the door Mi Lord
Your offer is one thing we can refuse

So take your silk hat off, darlin' loosen up your tie
Yes times are tough, things are rough, but we're all still alive
So raise your whiskey glass high for all the creatures of the night
Short or tall, thick or small, we love them all
It's getting late and you;ve had way too much to drink
But don't miss a thing, darlin' don't you dare blink
You paid good money, honey, to see a real show
Stick around, we've got places to go
It don't matter if you ain't got no diamond ring
We all live for the night and all the pleasures that it brings
We don't give a damn if you're tired of everything
Because baby we're gonna teach you how to sing.

Well darlin' it ain't over yet so get up off that floor.

My Man
03:57
|

|
I know I shouldn't like him because he's kinda rough
And when I stay out late he gives me all kinds of guff
I know you'll never understand, but he's my man
He's got the kind of smile that makes the ladies swoon
Why did I ever fall for such a goon?
I know you'll never understand, but he's my man
Lordy lord why did I have to fall for the type of guy that'll never say
"I love you baby doll"
He drives me wild every single day and when I hear him speak he takes my breath away
I know you'll never understand, but he's my man
When you see him coming boy you better run because he's the type of guy who just ain't that shy about his massive gun
He says "I ain't the marriage type" but I sure know how to please him every single night
I know you'll never understand, but he's my man
I fell in love with a bad man, I know that only William Shakespear could understand, star crossed lovers until the end
That's my man
I know you'll never understand, but he's my man

Motherless Child

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child a long way from home
Sometimes I feel like I have no friend a long way from home
Sometimes I feel like a feather in the air a long way from home
Sometimes I feel like I'm almost gone a long way from home
Good lordy, a long way from home

Bad News

All them old folk will tell ya "if you want to meet a fella, you better be a goody two shoes" but I say "I'd rather be bad news"
I don't care what they tell ya
Who needs a fella?
They only bring me the blues so
I say "I'd rather be bad news"
Oh you can keep your modest dresses, your subtle sideways glances
and all your early curfews
Give me a pair of fishnets, don't give a damn if they fit
And a stage where I can sing the blues
I don't care what they tell ya, I don't need a fella
They only bring me the blues so
I say "I'd rather be bad news"
They say "Who is gonna keep you warm at night? And ain't it about that time you found your mister right?"
I don't care what they tell ya, who needs a fella?
They only bring me the blues so
I say "I'd rather be bad news,
Honey I'd rather be bad news"

Devil's Daughter

Well it's been a long time now since you've been down this way
But lord I'm gonna catch you in my net one of these days
I'm the Devil's girl, and that's the way it's gonna stay
I see where he hides, once the sun has sunk, but he don't stand a chance once he's sloppy drunk because I'm the Devil's girl, and I don't give a damn, you can call me what you will, I'm gonna take your man
I'm the Devil's daughter and I don't give a damn
You can call me what you will, I'm gonna take your man
Poor hard working Jimmy asked me to marry him
I spat in his face and took another swig of gin
Because I'm the Devil's girl, and that's the way it's gonna be
You can cry and cry, he's going home with me
Some like em dark haired, others like em light
But once the night she falls you know I'm everybody's type
I'm the Devil's girl, and that's the way it's gonna stay
You can cry and cry, he's still going home with me
I'm the Devil's Daughter and I don't give a damn
You can call me what you will
I just took your man.
