Sometimes It Takes Balls To Be A Woman

Tom: D

D                                 A
Sometimes it takes balls to be a woman
A
Standin' up to a test. While wearin' a party dress
G                                          D                    G
Sometimes looks can be deceivin', while you're quietly over achievin'
D                    A                D
Oh sometimes it takes balls to be a woman


[Verse]
D
She's a socialite, a decent housewife
                        A
And she makes a mean lasagna

So when the mechanic said now lady don't panic
                      D
But this one's gonna cost ya'

She said I know I don't need my engine rebuilt
G
So just check the tires and change the belts
A
Honey I know you thought you saw me comin'
                                       D
But sometimes it takes balls to be a woman


[Chorus]
D                                 A
Sometimes it takes balls to be a woman
A
Standin' up to a test. While wearin' a party dress
G                                          D                    G
Sometimes looks can be deceivin', while you're quietly over achievin'
D                    A                D
Oh sometimes it takes balls to be a woman


[Verse]
D
Who says I should repent for the money I spent
                         A
On shoes and bags and jewelry

Well to hell with all that, my hard workin' ass
                          D
Ain't gonna sit before a jury

I said now isn't that a mighty small price to pay
G
For all the love I send your way
A
Honey when it comes down to the plumbin'
                                   D
Sometimes it takes balls to be a woman


[Chorus]
D                                 A
Sometimes it takes balls to be a woman
A
Standin' up to a test. While wearin' a party dress
G                                          D                    G
Sometimes looks can be deceivin', while you're quietly over achievin'
D                    A                D
Oh sometimes it takes balls to be a woman

       G
Look at Dolly and Loretta
        D                G
They still live it to the letter
D                        A
Oh sometimes it takes balls to be
D                       A
Oh sometimes it takes balls to be
D                        G
Big, big, big, big balls to be
D            A                        D
Oh sometimes it takes balls to be a woman
