Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You’ve come to tell me something you say I ought to know
That he don’t love me anymore and I’ll have to let him go
You say you’re gonna take him, oh but I don’t think you can
‘Cause you ain’t woman enough to take my man[Chorus]
Women like you, they’re a dime a dozen
You can buy ’em anywhere
For you to get to him, I’d have to move over
And I’m gonna stand right here
It’ll be over my dead body, so get out while you can
‘Cause you ain’t woman enough to take my man[Verse 2]
Sometimes a man’s caught lookin’ at things that he don’t need
He took a second look at you, but he’s in love with me
Well I don’t know where that leaves you, but I know where I stand
And you ain’t woman enough to take my man[Chorus]
Women like you, they’re a dime a dozen
You can buy ’em anywhere
For you to get to him, I’d have to move over
And I’m gonna stand right here
It’ll be over my dead body, so get out while you can
‘Cause you ain’t woman enough to take my manYou might also like
