Empathetic Woman

Don't tell me how it's hard to be a woman
As a man, I got problems every day
Folks treat me like a beggar from the minute I get up
Except when it comes time to pay
And I'm the one responsible if anything goes wrong
And I never get the the credit if a thing turns out okay
They ignore me when I'm weak, they hate me if I'm strong
Till I'm praying I can make it through the day
(Chorus)
I stumble home at night like the loser of a fight
But an empathetic woman could set the whole day right
An empathetic woman to be there and understand
I've been hungry so long for an empathetic woman
I ain't no saint, I'm willing to admit it
Even my own brothers think I'm strange
Don't take me long to drive a normal woman to her limit
And I've been this way too long to change
I got the kind of attitude that makes a bad time worse
When I steal a moment's pleasure, I feel guilty as a thief
If you met my folks you'd know that I'm a victim of a curse
It's no wonder I'm out chasing sweet relief
(Chorus)
