Don’t Put Her Down You Helped Put Her There Lyrics by Hazel Dickens, Alice Gerrard

Hazel & Alice

0

[Verse 1: Hazel Dickens]
You pull the string, she's your plaything
You can make her or break her, it's true
You abuse her, accuse her, turn around and use her
Then forsake her anytime it suits you
[Chorus: Hazel Dickens & Alice Gerrard]
Well, there's more to her than powder and paint
Than her peroxided, bleached-out hair
Well, if she acts that way, it's 'cause you've had your day
Don't put her down, you helped put her there
[Verse 2: Hazel Dickens]
She hangs around, playin' the clown
While her soul is aching insidе
She's heartbreak's child 'causе she just lives for your smile
To build her up in a world made by men
[Chorus: Hazel Dickens & Alice Gerrard]
Well, there's more to her than powder and paint
Than her peroxided, bleached-out hair
Well, if she acts that way, it's 'cause you've had your day
Don't put her down, you helped put her there
[Verse 3: Hazel Dickens]
At the house down the way, you sneak and you pay
For her love, her body, her shame
Then you call yourself a man, you say you just don't understand
How a woman could turn out that way
[Chorus: Hazel Dickens & Alice Gerrard]
Well, there's more to her than powder and paint
Than the men she picks up at the bar
Well, if she acts that way, it's 'cause you've had your day
Don't put her down, you helped put her there
Well, if she acts that way, it's 'cause you've had your day
Don't put her down, you helped put her there
