I Can Love You Like A Woman (Or I Can Fight You Like A Man) From the album "Queen of the Blues" by Koko Taylor I always thought that a man should be the boss in his home But how can a king run his castle Wwhen he's always gone? (Now listen) I tried to do the things for you that a woman should do But you taken me for granted, baby You must think I'm some kind of fool But here is some food for thoughts, and I hope you understand I can love you like a woman but also fight you like a man (And I don't think nothin' 'bout it) You rush out and take your time coming in And that's how it's always been You've been treating me like I'm a piece of wood Since I don't know when But I'm a peaceful woman, I know violence is no good But I can't demonstrate to you to be understood So I want to tell you in plain English, just as plain as I can I can love you like a woman but, oh, also fight you like a man (Did you hear what I say?) (Solo) (You better watch your step, baby) The very first thing you said to me, "I wear the pants" Then you turned around and you started cheating Soon as you got the chance (but listen) Baby, your time is very close at hand I can love you like a woman but, oh, also fight you like a man (And don't think nothin' 'bout it) I'm gonna get you back now, baby Oh yes, I'm gonna fight you, baby Oh, oh yeah, I'm gonna get you, baby Oh, you can't get by always Oh, oh yeah
