"A Grown Woman" Lyrics (Relentless album)
Written By Hillary Lindsey, Brett James
[Verse 1:]
Pain, it's only a little pain,
It'll be gone in a couple of days,
Or maybe a life or two.
Heart, it's only my poor heart,
Just that little thing you tore apart,
It ain't no headline news.
[Chorus 1:]
But a grown woman should've known better,
Than to treat me like some old lipstick,
You use up an' throw away.
Hey-hey-hey.
[Verse 2:]
Time, I wish I could turn back time,
To when you were just a child.
An' teach you a thing or two about love,
It's okay if you wanna give up,
But there's a way to leave someone,
An' you don't have to be so cruel.
[Chorus 2:]
'Cause a grown woman shoulda' known better,
Than to treat me like some old dish rag,
You use up an' throw away.
Hey-hey-hey.
[Bridge:]
You're supposed to treat your lover,
At least as good as your neighbor.
So how could you, a grown woman,
Not know no better?
[Instrumental break.]
[Coda:]
I ain't no old lipstick,
You use up an' throw away.
'Cause you're ready for another shade.
Hey-hey, hey.
You should've known better,
'Cause you're a grown woman.
