PMS Blues - Live

Lyrics

Eve you wicked woman, you done put your curse on me
 Why didn't you just leave that apple hangin' in the tree
 You make us hate our husbands, our lovers and our boss
 Why I can't even count the good friends I've already lost
 Cause of pms blues, pms blues
 I don't even like myself, but it's something I can't help
 I got those God almighty, slap somebody pms blues
 Most times I'm easy going, some say I'm good as gold
 But when I'm pms I tell ya, I turn mean and cold
 Those not afflicted with it are affected just the same
 You poor old men didn't have to grin and say I feel your pain
 Pms blues, pms blues
 You know you must forgive us for we care not what we do
 I got those can't stop crying, dishes flying pms blues
 But you know we can't help it
 We don't even know the cause
 But as soon as this part's over, then comes the menopause
 Oh, lord, oh, lord
 We're going to always be a heap of fun
 Like the devil taking over my body, suffering, suffering, suffering
 Everybody's suffering, huh?
 But a woman had to write this song, a man would be scared to
 Lest he be called a chauvenist or just fall victim to
 Those pms blues
 You know we'd kill for less than that
 Pms blues
 You don't want to cross my path
 Cause a pitbull ain't no match
 For these teeth a clenchin', fluid retention
 Head a swellin', can't stop yellin'
 Got no patience, I'm so hateful
 Pms blues, premenstrual syndrome
 Got those moods a swingin', tears a slingin'
 Nothin' fits me when it hits me
 Rantin', ravin', misbehavin'
 Pms blues
 It's the only time in my life I ever think about wishing I'd been a man
 But you know that only means one thing
 If I'd have been a man, I'd be somewhere right this very minute
 With some old cranky, naggin', raggin' hateful woman
 With those old pms blues
 Pms blues
 
 I don't want to talk about it, we both could do without it
 Got those treat your kids bad, don't you talk back
 Gone ballistic, unrealistic
 Awful lowdown, bitch to be around
 Pms blues
