(Music & Lyrics: Ackerson)
She needs to be angry to tell you what’s on her mind
So be certain that you know the role you’re playing
She’ll never promise that she’s the best you’ll ever find
‘Cause the surest truths can go without saying
She’s a joy to love, if you don’t mind loving on her terms
She’s nice to touch, if you don’t mind touching on her terms
She’s fun to live with, if you don’t mind living on her terms
She might listen to what you say, boy
But there is no other way
She needs to be wanted like you want someone to need
But she might not care beyond how hard you’re trying
She’ll make an offering, and she is not afraid to bleed
As long as you remember what she’s buying
She’s a joy to love, if you don’t mind loving on her terms
She’s nice to touch, if you don’t mind touching on her terms
She’s fun to live with, if you don’t mind living on her terms
She might listen to what you say, boy
But there is no other way
If you give her everything, she’ll give you everything she has to spare
‘Cause “all is fair in love” is not that all in love is fair
She’s a joy to love, if you don’t mind loving on her terms
She’s nice to touch, if you don’t mind touching on her terms
She’s fun to live with, if you don’t mind living on her terms
She might even listen to what you say, boy
But there is no other way
