I was a little bitty baby when my papa hit the skids.
Mama had a time tryin' to raise nine kids.
Told me not to stare'cause it was impolite.
And did the best she could to try to raise me right.

Well, you talk about a woman: I've seen a lotta others.
With too much somethin' and not enough of another.
You've got it all together like a lovin' machine.
You're lookin' like glory and walkin' like a dream.

Well, you talk about a trouble-makin' hunka' pokey bait.
That men are gonna love and all the women gonna hate.
Remindin' them of everything they're never gonna be.
Maybe the beginning of a World War Three.
          C                                        G
Cause the world ain't ready for nothin' like a Y-O-U.
