She Ain't Built That Way

Why is it that a woman can't climb up a tree?

Cause she ain't built that way

Why the two of them can never agree?

Cause they're not built that way

It's true there is no effect without a cause

A woman can never come under a clause

And she never gives a reason for waging her jaws

Cause she ain't built that way

Don't give your wife any secretes to keep

Because she ain't built that way

She couldn't hold them even in her sleep

Cause she ain't built that way

She can keep you in water that is dreadfully hot

Take when she can all the change that you got

But keepin' a secret, why certainly not!

Because she ain't built that way

Don't rave about every girl you meet on the street

Because they're not built that way

Don't rave about their figure that's so perfect and neat

Because they ain't that way

With bustles and padding and heels that are high

And blending of color just to capture the eye

But the real from the sham you tell if you try

Because there's lots of them built that way

A woman can not hit a barn with a stone

Because they ain't built that way

She can't bear to stay in the house all alone

Because she ain't built that way

She can stay up all night at a masquerade ball

Try out every dancer there is in their halls

But don't ask her to sew on a button at all

Because she ain't built that way

A woman can never jump over a fence

Because she ain't built that way

When a mad bull chases there's no defense

Because she ain't built that way

She can kick up a row and upset every plan

She's been noted for that since the world began

She can't strike a match in the dark like a man

Because she ain't built that way
