Always A Woman Lyrics by Marc Kudisch and Men's Ensemble

MR HART:
Huh! Uh! Good God!

They think they'll get by with these gadgets and ties,
And sticking a rag in my mouth, and in my house!
They best think again, cause I won't let them win.
This show's gonna end without doubt! I'll get out!

It's always a woman. Always a woman.
They'll cut you down, saw you off at the knees.
It's always a woman. Always a woman.
They'll squeeze 'em, till you beg and plead.

Women just use us, they trick us and confuse us.
Like Adam, and Sampson, and John! Poor John!
His head on a platter, no choice in the matter.
Now I'm not Baptist, but I have been conned!

It's always a woman. Always a woman.
They're wicked and we gave a rib up for that
But they wrote the sequel, and made themselves equal.
Yeah, women don't care about the facts!

Ah, can I get some help now? A little help now?
I mean it, can I get some friggin' help over here?

MEN'S ENSEMBLE:
Women!

MR. HART:
They're spiteful! And hateful!

MEN'S ENSEMBLE:
Women!

MR. HART:
Conniving! Ungrateful!

MEN'S ENSEMBLE:

MR. HART:
Deceitful! Unfaithful!

MEN'S ENSEMBLE:

MR. HART:
It's always a woman!

MEN'S ENSEMBLE:

MR. HART:
But I'm gonna show them
I'm still the boss, they can like it or not.

MEN'S ENSEMBLE:
Like it or not!

MR. HART:
Get up, get even!

MEN'S ENSEMBLE:
Get even!

MR. HART:
Get loose, and I'm leavin'.

MEN'S ENSEMBLE:
He's leavin'!

MR. HART:
Oh yeah, I'm reclaiming my spot.

MEN'S ENSEMBLE:
Reclaim his spot, now, tell it to me!

MR. HART:
I've got their number!

MEN'S ENSEMBLE:
He's got their number!

MR. HART:
They're going under!

MEN'S ENSEMBLE:
Going under!

MR. HART:
Cause they'll steal our souls if they can!

MEN'S ENSEMBLE:
Steal our souls!

MR. HART & MEN'S ENSEMBLE:
It's always a woman. Always a woman.

Mr. HART:
They'll be the death of men!

MEN'S ENSEMBLE:
Always a woman!

MR. HART:
It's a man's world!

MEN'S ENSEMBLE:
Always a woman!

MR. HART:
By God, I aim to prove it!
Watch me! Hah! Ay!

{pause}

Aw, women.

MEN'S ENSEMBLE:
Women!

MR. HART:
Yeah, yeah!
