That is My Point of View
I see a man tonight I never met him before
He could be kind and gentle or Knock me down on the floor
he might be vicious or rough / He could be nasty and tough
But I have to serve him I wish I Didn't work here no more
V2 We take his cash and finish him off as quick as we can.
It isn’t hard to pull on the thing that pleases a man
He thinks of me same as meat but me and my kids gotta eat
Once he is done for / I wipe him down and show him the door
CH Sometimes I lie back close my eyes and go to My happy place
But lately that place is far away
I think peaceful thoughts and smile to myself while the man Thinks he's having fun
and does what he wants to do
Ch. 5 This is my point of view
I wanna tell it to you
I maybe want to do it with you
But really I hate you if only you knew
My life is poisoned and now I need someone to turn to …..
(Note c)
The men that I see are weak less of a roar more like a squeak
They are not driven to protect
A strong man to me is one not someone holding a gun
But someone who treats a woman with respect (b flat)
V3 woman is always suff-eri-ng it’s the way of the world
But why does it have to be like this it seems that men will never learn
If there was someone to trust
Someone fierce and just
He’d have my heart and get the love he deserved
Ch.[rpt] 5 That was my point of view
I had to tell it to you
maybe i want to do it with you
But really I hate you if only you knew
My life is poisoned now I need someone to turn to …..
