She's a socialite, a decent housewife

And she makes a mean lasagna 

So when the mechanic said now lady don't panic 
                      D 
But this one's gonna cost ya' 

She said I know I don't need my engine rebuilt 
G 
So just check the tires and change the belts 
A 
Honey I know you thought you saw me comin' 
                                       D

Verse 
D 
Who says I should repent for the money I spent 
                         A 
On shoes and bags and jewelry 

Well to hell with all that, my hard workin' ass 
                          D 
Ain't gonna sit before a jury 

I said now isn't that a mighty small price to pay 
G 
For all the love I send your way 
A 
Honey when it comes down to the plumbin' 
                                   D 
Sometimes it takes balls to be a woman

Oh sometimes it takes balls to be a woman 

Coda 
       G 
Look at Dolly and Loretta 
        D                G 
They still live it to the letter 
D                        A 
Oh sometimes it takes balls to be 
D                       A 
Oh sometimes it takes balls to be 
D                        G 
Big, big, big, big balls to be 
D            A                        D 
Oh sometimes it takes balls to be a woman
