                                                        me
                                                      A man
                                                  you woman
                                                    as  a child
                                              I was tought respect 
                                               to respect the woman
                                            to hold the doors open wide
                                          so  you can be first in the line
                                        to lay our coats over mud puddles
                                   To listen and respond with tenderness  
                              but there are some that were never tought right 
                                  they hit you when they drink to much booze
                                        some lie and cheat and never think
                                             it is very bad for some
                                                  it must hurt in side
                                                 some never learn
                                                    making tears
                                                        you cry   
                                                           sad
