[Verse 1]
You should be stronger than me
You been here 7 years longer than me
Don't you know you supposed to be the man
Not pale in comparison to who you think I am
You always wanna talk it through, I don't care!
I always have to comfort you when I'm there
But that's what I need you to do - stroke my hair!
[Chorus]
Cause' I've forgotten all of young love's joy
Feel like a lady, and you my lady boy
[Verse 2]
You should be stronger than me
But instead you're longer than frozen turkey
Why'd you always put me in control?
All I need is for my man to live up to his role
Always wanna talk it through - I'm OK
Always have to comfort you every day
But that's what I need you to do, are you gay?
[Chorus]
Cause' I've forgotten all of young love's joy
Feel like a lady, and you my lady boy
[Verse 3]
He said "the respect I made you earn
Thought you had so many lessons to learnt"
I said "You don't know what love is - get a grip!"
Sounds as if you're reading from some other tired script
I'm not gonna meet your mother anytime
I just wanna grip your body over mine
Please tell me why you think that's a crime
[Chorus]
I've forgotten all of young love's joy
Feel like a lady, and you my lady boy
[Outro] x 4
