G D C G D C
Pain it’s only a little pain
C Em D C
It’ll be gone in a couple of days
C D
Or maybe a life or two
G D C G D C
Heart it’s only my poor heart
C Em D C
Just that little thing you tore apart
C D
It ain’t no headline news
Chorus:
C G C G
But a grown woman should’ve known better
D C Em
Than to treat me like some old lipstick
D Am
You use up and throw away
D
Hey, hey, hey
Time I wish I could turn back time
To when you were just a child
And teach you a thing or two
About love it’s okay if you wanna give up
But there’s a way to leave someone
And you don’t have to be so cruel
Chorus
C G C G
Cause a grown woman should’ve known better
D C Em
Than to treat me like some old dishrag
D Am
You use up and throw away
D
Hey, hey, hey
C
You’re supposed to treat your lover
Em
At least as good as your neighbor
Am
So how could you, a grown woman
D
Not know no better
(solo)
C Em D Am
I ain’t no old lipstick you use up and throw away
D
Cause you’re ready for another shade
G D C
Hey, hey, hey
G D C
You should’ve known better
G
Cause you’re a grown woman
