Ain't no man alive can handle me

I done fed them 

loved them 

wash their clothes

kissed their lips

 wiped their nose

you taste the sugar 

you lose your teeth

ain't no man alive can handle me

they say 

I'm too much woman 

for one small bed

too much thinking 

in this big ol' head

too much meat 

for their pride to see

ain't no man alive can handle me 

they want a snack not a meal baby

ain't no man alive can handle me 

I'm fire-dressed in melody

I shine too bright

 I cut too deep

they talk that love 

but they don't keep

I ain't no doll 

for some fool to own 

I worked this land 

till it turned my own 

I gave my heart 

till my knees went weak

they loved my laugh 

but not my grief

now baby 

they want the meal 

not the woman that cooked it

they like it thin 

they like it sweet

but I serve heat 

beneath the sheet

you taste this sugar 

you'll fall to your knee

ain't no man alive can handle me

I shake the walls

I break the beat

they start to pray 

when I turn up the heat

ain't no man alive can handle me 

maybe one day 

some man 

will prove me wrong

but I ain't waiting
