Sickly sweet,
candied me in a fragrant greasy spoon
Knock back black coffee,
work it till the afternoon
She hardly sleeps,
she hardly eats
She hardly breathes when you're not breathing space
I call her wife,
I'm patrolling the streets as she walks from work
We're parting,
dear,
from afar as he sits with a drooling smirk
She hardly sleeps,
she hardly eats She hardly breathes when you're not breathing
space
She brushes it off
like she always does Drops her to subway,
disappears with a fly
And I am a woman And I am a woman
She comes home,
I hear her moan,
the walls are paper thin
As friends come round,
they pass around her,
head goes round the bend
She hardly sleeps,
she hardly eats She hardly breathes when you're not breathing space
She brushes it off like she always does Puts on her make-up,
faces her day as she hardly
sleeps She hardly eats, she hardly breathes when
you're not breathing space I am a woman
