Women Have a Way With a Fool
Coco Montoya Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Woman had the upper hand since the time of original sin
God gave men the muscle, He gave women all the brains
Buddy, you got to hustle just to keep yourself in the game
Ladies, we beg your pardon if we play it cool
'Cause women have a way with a fool
Ladies, don't deal us out
Somedays you're the windshieldm somedays you're the fly
We all gotta watch our backsides if we're gonna give love a try
Fellas don't forget it, they'll take you back to school
'Cause women have a way, women have away with a fool
Ya, women have a way with a fool
Fellas, don't get me wrong
There's a lot of good women in the world out there
And I know you're gonna find you one
Just don't get to messin' or you'll feel the woman's scorn
Might get you a lesson, make you wish you was never born
Do just like you wanna mut don't break that golden rule
'Cause women have a way, women have a way
Women have a way with a fool
Ya, women have a way with a fool
