Four Bitchin' Babes The Choice
When you gettin' married, girl, when you comin' home?
When you gonna wake up and get out on your own?
Oh, the whole world seems to push you every way but up
And tells your choices are like diamonds and only one's enough
Margie's got decisions now that she's gotta make
She really wants it all, she says, but what's it gonna take?
Her mother always told her it's husband or career
And then handed her a briefcase and a lace brassiere
Some women give the world babies
Some women give the world songs
All women give the world beauty
That's what rights so many wrongs
So you drive yourself to happiness then back for heaven's sake
Wearing Wonder Woman's bracelets, your initials on her cape
You're takin' on America before goin' overseas
When asking for your place my dear just say pretty please
Some women give the world sugar
Some women give the world spice
All women give the world courage
It's what comes from asking twice
Look there's someone in the picture
He's wonderful, he's great
He tells you not to worry
He's patient, he can wait
His mother sends you recipes
And patterns for a quilt
Your mother sends you phone bills
OF encouragement and guilt
Oh some women give the world laughter
Some women give the world tears
All women give the world feelings
It gives meaning to the tears
Some women give the world babies
Some women give the world songs
All women give the world beauty
That's what rights so many wrongs
