Lyrics
If you put a woman in a box And a man right there beside her Tell ‘em both to play the leader Who you think would take the lead? Which of them will get their point across And which of them would just have to “yes, indeed”? If you put a man in a box And a woman right beside him Tell ‘em, “make the thing you’re made for And you’ll make it out okay” Which of them you think is sticking out And which of them is kicking out the same damn day? Ah, we are gathered here today to Learn about our own race Let us refrain from any bias As the observations take place If you put a woman in a box And a man right there beside her: “It’s important that I spend tonight alone, is that okay?” Which of them you think’ll understand Which of them is standing in the other one’s way, hey? If you put a woman in a box: Oh, what does it mean to be a woman in a box What is it like to be a man Which of them you think is standing in the other one’s way And who would understand Ah, he sees her putting her dress on Letting her hair out (ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh) He takes a head full of high hopes To the porch where it can air out Oh, she’s got a half a mind to think it’ll Never be the right time (ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh) Oh, maybe. but they got a hell a lot of thinking To do before nighttime Woah, they come together, they say Woah, oh, oh Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh And we sing it again Woah, oh, oh Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh ah We put a woman in a box And a man right there beside her And they took care of each other And they don’t ask for too much The woman and the man discover Better ways to talk, like through song and touch Ah, she’s having a happy box morning Cooking with no pants on (ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh) (come here, baby) He clears a little bit of living room floor For them to dance on (ah, get your dance on) (ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh) And we are gathered here today to Learn about our own selves (ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh) We are them little tiny children Learning from our grown selves Ah, we come together, we say Woah, oh, oh Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Woah, oh, oh Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ah
