mad woman (the long pond studio sessions)

[Verse 1]

What did you think I'd say to that?

Does a scorpion sting when fighting back?

They strike to kill, and you know I will

You know I will

What do you sing on your drive home?

Do you see my face in the neighbor's lawn?

Does she smile

Or does she mouth "Fuck you forever"?

[Pre-Chorus]

Every time you call me crazy, I get more crazy

What about that?

And when you say I seem angry, I get more angry

[Chorus]

And there's nothing like a mad woman

What a shame she went mad

No one likes a mad woman

You made her like that

And you'll poke that bear 'til her claws come out

And you find something to wrap your noose around

And there's nothing like a mad woman

[Verse 2]

Now I breathe flames each time I talk

My cannons all firin' at your yacht

They say "move on," but you know I won't

And women like hunting witches too

Doing your dirtiest work for you

It's obvious that wanting me dead

Has really brought you two together

[Pre-Chorus]

Every time you call me crazy, I get more crazy

What about that?

And when you say I seem angry, I get more angry

[Chorus]

And there's nothing like a mad woman

What a shame she went mad

No one likes a mad woman

You made her like that

And you'll poke that bear 'til her claws come out

And you find something to wrap your noose around

And there's nothing like a mad woman

[Bridge]

I'm taking my time, taking my time

'Cause you took everything from me

Watching you climb, watching you climb

Over people like me

The master of spin has a couple side flings

Good wives always know

She should be mad, should be scathing like me, but

[Outro]

No one likes a mad woman

What a shame she went mad

You made her like that
