Woman Down

Alanis Morissette

4

First woman was your mother down

She did condone how you behave

All you could see was your father

His disrespect was in her face

Next woman was your sister down

Her silence did corroborate

She took her cues from the climate

And never knew another way

Who do you take me for

Calling all woman haters

We've lowered the bar on the

Behavior that we will take - come on now

Calling all lady haters

Why must you vilify us

Are you willing to clean the slate? - Woman down

Woman down

Next woman down was your lover

She takes your spite at face value

Even her hair length and color

Gives you the impulse to repeat

Who do you take me for

Calling all woman haters

We've lowered the bar on the

Behavior that we will take - come on now

Calling all lady haters

Why must you vilify us

Are you willing to clean the slate? - Woman down

Woman down

Woman down

Next woman down is your daughter

A stranger to being debased

She has a new lease and limit

On the abuse she'll tolerate

Who do you take me for

Calling all woman haters

We've lowered the bar on the

behavior that we will take - come on now

Calling all lady haters

Why must you vilify us

Are you willing to clean the slate? - Woman down
