Second time around you know it's really got me down Sister, don't you judge it, keep it to yourself now If you ain't got nothin' good to say, don't say nothin' at all Got bitten by the bitter bug and I just can't get enough Ill will and my own concedin', weary of the world it seems I'm weary of the world, weary of the world it seems Sort of always come my way I'm just a little bit off these days Like the hard knocks saw in my life like I'm a Bible belt wife Like I didn't see it comin', like I didn't walk in and leave See I never wanna sing again, la, la, la, like a butterfly Out my wits about me, out my heart in line Third time's a charm, this is mine You said you heard Loretta sing And you felt the loneliness seepin' in Cowboys made you uneasy you're a god-fearin' lesbian So you learn not to yearn and you take it on the chin again Here's what I find about compromise, don't do it if it hurts inside' Cause either way you're screwed Eventually you'll find that you may as well feel good You may as well have some pride Come August we'll go to Cherokee and hear Loretta do her thing Pack it into the Indian casino and make the hillbilly scene Kick up our heels and join in Are you my ally or my enemy? Do you have self-loathin' or empathy? Can you keep me in your prayers? Sister, can you keep me in there somewhere? And sister, if you ain't got nothin' good to say Don't say nothin' at all
