Upper Hand
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Honey on a teaspoon
Sugar in a bowl
An eager man's
Always an easy catch
Butter on the skillet
Whisky in a glass
To start a flame
You've got to light a match
Ooh
You know what he wants
You know what he wants
Ooh
Got to get a hold
Got to get a hold
Get a hold of your man
Better get him while
Better get him while
Better get him while you can
Good to be a lion
Good to be a lion
Instead of a lamb
Use what you got
Take the upper hand
Always be a lady
But tease him like a tramp
A temptation
That's hard to resist
Treat him like a hero
Let him long
To be your slave
Take advantage
Of your God given gift
Ooh
You got what he wants
Yeah
You got what he wants
Ooh
Got to get a hold
Got to get a hold
Get a hold of your man
Better get him while
Better get him while
Better get him while you can
Good to be a lion
Good to be a lion
Instead of a lamb
Use what you got
Take the upper hand
Generations before
Will testify it's true
Girl your gonna see
How much he really loves you
Got to get a hold
Got to get a hold
Get a hold of your man
Better get him while
Better get him while
Better get him while you can
Good to be a lion
Good to be a lion
Instead of a lamb
Use what you got
Take the upper hand
