Too Much Woman (For A Henpecked Man)

(album: Come Together - 1970)

I wanna be loved, not teased
I don't want no man on his knees
A henpecked man I can't respect
'Cause I'm a hard woman to handle, and I know that

He's gotta be staid
Use his head to turn me on
Not give it all

My Mama was mean, my Papa was cruel
I never got the chance to do like the other girls
But now I'm a woman, sweet twenty-one
I wanna find myself a man and have myself some fun

He's gotta be staid
Use his head to turn me on
Not give it all
Get it on, y'all

Pulling cotton sacks is all I've ever known
The man I find has got to be strong
'Cause a weak man I can't stand
Because I'm too much of a woman to have a henpecked man

He's gotta be staid
Use his head to turn me on
Not give it all
So get it on
