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




But a grown woman should've known better


Than to treat me like some old lipstick


You use up and throw away

Hey, hey, hey





Time, I wish I could turn back time

To when you were just a child


And teach you a thing or two


About love, it's okay if you wanna give up

But there's a way to leave someone


And you don't have to be so cruel




'Cause a grown woman should've known better


Than to treat me like some old dish rag


You use up and throw away

Hey, hey, hey





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




I ain't no, no lipstick you use up and throw away


'Cause you're ready for another shade

Hey, hey, hey


You should've known better


'Cause you're a grown woman
