Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Eve, you wicked woman, you done put your curse on me
Why didn't you just leave that apple hangin' in the tree?
You make us hate our husbands, our lovers, and our boss
Why, I can't even count the good friends I've already lost
[Chorus]
'Cause of PMS blues, PMS blues
I don't even like myself, but it's something I can't help
Got those God almighty, slap somebody PMS blues
[Verse 2]
Most times I'm easy-going, some say I'm good as gold
But when I'm PMS, I tell ya, I turn mean and cold
Those not afflicted with it are affected just the same
You poor old men just have to grin and say, "I feel your pain"
[Chorus]
(PMS blues) Yeah, right, love, but what else you gonna say?
PMS blues, love, love
You know you must forgive us 'cause we care not what we do
I got those can't stop cryin', dishes flyin' PMS blues
[Bridge]
But you know that we can't help it
We don't even know the cause
But as soon as this part's over, then comes the menopause
Oh Lord, oh Lord
We're gonna always be a heap of fun
Like the devil takin' over my body
Sufferin', sufferin', sufferin'
Everybody's sufferin', huh?
[Verse 3]
But a woman had to write this song
A man would be scared to
Lest he be called a chauvinist or just fall victim to
[Chorus]
Those PMS blues, you know we'd kill for less than that
PMS blues, uh-huh
You don't want to cross my path 'cause a pitbull ain't no match
For these teeth are clenchin', fluid retention
Head a-swellin', can't stop yellin'
Got no patience, I'm so hateful PMS blues
Premenstrual syndrome
Got those moods a-swingin', tears a-slingin'
Nothing fits me when it hits me
Rantin', ravin', misbehavin'
PMS blues
[Bridge]
Can I get a witness?
You women wanna witness?
Ah, tell it, sisters, tell it, sisters, as only you know how
You men wanna witness?
Ah, tell it, brothers, tell it 'cause you sure know what I'm talking about
You little kids, you wanna witness?
You wanna talk about that mean ol' devil mama of yours?
I said the kids, you mamas stay out of this, you've done enough to them kids already
Come on, kids, witness, you're safe with your friend Dolly
It's the only time in my life I ever think about wishin' I'd have been a man
But you know that only means one thing
If I'd have been a man, I'd be somewhere right this very minute
With some old cranky, nagging, ragging hateful woman
[Chorus]
With those old PMS blues, PMS blues
I don't wanna talk about it, we both could do without it
I got those treat your kids bad, don't you talk back
Gone ballistic, unrealistic
Awful lowdown, bitch to be around
PMS blues
[Outro]
Oh, what are you looking at?
