Realizing What A Woman Really Is

This song is goddamn empowering.  I don't know how.  I don't know why.  I just know that it is.

I first heard this song when I was smack dab in the middle of a deep depression.  I felt worthless, hopeless, like I had no future.  I never wanted to kill myself, but dying in my sleep and just never waking up didn't really seem so bad.  I'd had this CD for a couple of years, but I never actually listened to this song.  Not sure what made me listen to it when I did, but I'm glad.

 The lyrics got me to think a lot deeper than I had been.  To this day, I just sit quietly and listen every time I hear this song.

 

Me and the devil,
Walking side by side.
Me and the devil,
Going to take you on a long and evil ride.
The woman is a devil,
That's what I've been told.
Woman is a devil,
That's what I've been told.
She'll take all your money,
Then she'll spend all your gold.
All right.
The devil is a woman.
She's a woman.
Well I play my acts, honey
She take the whole damn role.
Keep on going, now, come on.
All right play it, yeah.
One more time.
Well she feel like dying.
Only twenty-one.
Well she feel like dying,
But she's only twenty-one.
She's not the only,
She's not the only one.
All right, all right, all right.
All right, all right.
Gonna save the whole world.
All right.
