Well I've washed your laundry and I've ironed your shirts
Putting up with being only the wife
While you did your thing and never let me live my life
I've listened to your problems and I've waited up
With your dinner getting cold
'Cause I was stupid enough to think together we'd grow old
And now you've found another woman and she's better than me
In oh so many ways
I was your mother, your friend, and all I'm gettin' is a slap in the face
So you find her more exciting?
Well I think you've lost your head
And I plan to keep on fighting
I'm a bitch when I see red
She's got style you say, and she's never ever boring or plain
And compared to me she's all caviar and champagne
And she's always willing to fulfil your needs with an urge than never fails
She's never got a headache, and she's never got broken nails
So you find her more exciting?
Well I think you've lost your head
And I plan to keep on fighting
I'm a bitch when I see red
So with her at last you're living?
And with me it's dull and dead
Well I won't be all forgiving
I'm a bitch when I see red
Red, babe
Yeah
Seein' red
When the novelty is wearing off
Where do you think you're gonna be?
When you find she wants a home and kids, just like me
When she finds you're not the man she thought you were
But a liar, and a cheat
I can hardly wait, my revenge will be so sweet
So you find her more exciting?
Well I think you've lost your head
And I plan to keep on fighting
I'm a bitch when I see red
So with her at last you're living?
And with me it's dull and dead
Well I won't be all forgiving
I'm a bitch when I see red
So you say our love has faded
And you're taking that woman instead
I'm insulted and degraded
And I tell you, I see red
So you find her more exciting
Plan to keep on fighting
With her across your knee (And I tell you I see red)
You find her more exciting
Plan to keep on fighting
With her across your knee
I'm a bitch when I see red
