Grace Under Pressure

They say men work
from sun to sun
but a woman's work
is never done
I seem to get
less than I give
but it still beats
the alternative
And I don't know
why men lie
I guess that's why
women cry...
You think by now
I'd know better
to stay or go
grace under pressure

I want to be
in control
and sometimes I want
to be controlled
And I don't know
how you intend
to determine
which and when
And I don't know
why men don't cry
they always have
an alibi
You think by now
I'd learn my lesson
to stay or go
grace under pressure

Seems to be too late
before I realize
Halfway's too far away
and so we reach no compromise

Like Diogenes I am
searching for an honest man
The effort seems to be
an exercise in futility
And I don't know
why men lie
I guess that's why
women cry
You think by now
I'd know better
to stay or go
grace under pressure...
