Faint Of Heart Lyrics - Singles - Sister C

Hey little girl climbing high up in that tree 

With your muddy bare feet and scrapes on both your knees 

Double dog dare from the boy next door 

Anything he can do you can do more 

So you're up there, trying to prove that you're not scared 

If things only stayed as simple as those days 

Back when being fast meant you're gonna win that race 

When a hoe was a tool in the garden shed 

Passing home base meant you're team was ahead 

at the ball game, when you grow up that'll all change 

But you can get knocked up, you can get knocked down 

Yea you paint your nails and lips and eyes 

Suck it in and work it out 

You're uptight if you don't go far enough 

Easy if you go too far 

Being a woman, ain't for the faint of heart 

So you dress up pretty, and you sit with your legs crossed 

Cause the boy who copied all your tests is now your boss 

and he makes more money than you'll ever bring home 

Cause you gotta double x chromosome 

That's the way it is, maybe time's gonna change it 

But you can get knocked up, you can get knocked down 

Yea you paint your nails and lips and eyes 

Suck it in and work it out 

You're uptight if you don't go far enough 

Easy if you go too far 

Being a woman, ain't for the faint of heart 

Yea we all get together and complain that it ain't fair 

But in the end we'll outlive 'em by 15 years 

And still have all our hair 

But you can get knocked up, you can get knocked down 

Yea you paint your nails and lips and eyes 

Suck it in and work it out 

You're uptight if you don't go far enough 

Easy if you go too far 

Being a woman, ain't for the faint of heart 

Cause being a woman, ain't for the faint of heart
