Oh - I'm not that petty, as cool as I am, I thought you'd know this already,
I will not be afraid of women, I will not be afraid of women.
So now we're at a club, you watch a woman dancing, she is drunk,
She is smiling and she's falling in a slow, descending funk,
And the whole bar is loud and proud and everybody's trying, yeah,
You play the artist, saying, "Is it how she moves, or how she looks?"
I say, it's loneliness, suspended to our own like grappling hooks,
And as long as she's got noise, she's fine.
But I could teach her how I learned to dance when the music's ended.
Oh - and that's not petty, as cool as I am, I thought you'd know this already,
I will not be afraid of women, i will not be afraid of women.
You tried to make me doubt, to make me guess, tried to make me feel like a little less,
Oh, I liked you when your soul was bared, I thought you knew how to be scared,
And now it's amazing what you did to make me stay,
But truth is just like time, it catches up and it just keeps going,
And so I'm leaving, you can find out how much better things can get,
And if it helps, I'd say I feel a little worse than i did when we met,
So when you find someone else, you cant ry again, it might work next time,
You look out of the kitchen window and you shake your head and say low,
"If I could believe that stuff, I'd say that woman has a halo,"
And I look out and say, "Yeah, she's really blond,"
And then I go outside to join the others, I am the others,
Oh - and that's not easy, I don't know what you saw, I want somebody who sees me,
I will not be afraid of women, I will not be afraid of women.
