[Verse 1]
Man got his woman to take his seed
He got the power, oh, she got the need
She spends her life through pleasing up her man
She feeds him dinner or anything she can
She cries alone at night too often
He smokes and drinks and don't come home at all

Only women bleed
Only women bleed

All you're really lookin' for's an even break
He lies right at you, you know you hate this game

Begging me "Please, come watch me bleed"
[Chorus]
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Oh, only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
Only women bleed
[Outro]
