Wounded Woman

[Verse 1]
You should've killed me
'Cause I'll pay you back for every day you made me hurt
And you can count on that
I treated you good and kind
Gave control of my mind
In return you made me a fool
I've been hurt but I'll pull through

[Chorus]
I'm just a wounded woman
Crippled by a thing called love
Look out, baby
I'm a wounded woman
Crippled by a thing called love

[Post-Chorus]
But when I'm kicked down, watch out
When I get up
(Wounded woman's gonna pay you back)
('Cause she's dangerous, ooh)

[Verse 2]
I was stripped of pride
I've been brutalized
And I've been burned to the third degree
The devil's been brought out in me
You used to be a fine guy
'Til she filled your head with lies
For wrong you punished me
But soon I'll be back on my feet, yeah

[Chorus]
I'm just a wounded woman
Crippled by a thing called love
I've been wounded, baby
I'm a wounded woman
Crippled by a thing called love

[Post-Chorus]
Listen baby, when I'm kicked down
You better watch out
'Cause when I get all alone, yeah, ooh
(Wounded woman's gonna pay you back)

[Chorus]
I'm just a wounded woman
Crippled by a thing called love
('Cause she's dangerous)
You better look out for me, baby
I'm a wounded woman
(Wounded woman's gonna pay you back)
Crippled by a thing called love
('Cause she's dangerous)

[Outro]
I've been brutalized, yeah
A wounded woman
Crippled by this thing called love
(Wounded woman's gonna pay you back)
('Cause she's dangerous)
Watch my smoke, baby
A wounded woman
(Wounded woman's gonna pay you back)
Crippled by a thing called love
('Cause she's dangerous)
I'm dangerous, baby
