[Verse 1]

Pain

It's only a little pain

It'll be gone in a couple of days

Or maybe a life or two

Heart

It's only my poor heart

Just that little thing you tore apart

It ain't no headline news

[Chorus]

But a grown woman

Should've known better than to treat me like some

Old lipstick you use up and throw away

Hey, hey, hey

[Verse 2]

Time

I wish I could turn back time

To when you were just a child

And teach you a thing or two

About love

It's okay if you wanna give up

But there's a way to leave someone

And you don't have to be so cruel

[Chorus]

But a grown woman

Should've known better than to treat me like some

Old lipstick you use up and throw away

Hey, hey, hey

[Bridge]

You're supposed to treat your lover

At least as good as your neighbor

So, how could you, a grown woman

Not know no better

[Alternate Chorus]

I ain't no

Old lipstick you use up and throw away

'Cause you're ready for another shade

Hey, hey, hey

[Outro]

You should've known better

'Cause you're a grown woman
