Yeah there was a time, I didn't like the love, I liked the climbers.
I was no sister then, I was running out of time and one liners,
And I was afraid, lke you are when you're too yound to know the time,
and
So I watch the way you take you fear and hoard the horizon,
You point, you have a wird for every woman you can lay your eyes on,
Like you own them just because you bought the time,
And you turn to me, you say you hope I'm not threatened.

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 the women dancing, she's 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, its loneliness suspended to our own like grappling hooks,
And as long as sh's got noise, she's fine.
But I could teach her how I learned to dance when the muisics ended.

Oh-I'm not that petty as cool as I am, I thought you's 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 its 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 am 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 can try 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 thats not easy, I don't know what you say, I want somebody who
sees me,
I will not be afraid of women, I will not be afraid of women.
