Don't Put Her Down You Helped Put Her There

You pull the string

She's your plaything

You can make her or break her, it's true

You abuse her, accuse her

Turn her round and use her

Then forsake her any time it suits you

There's more to her than powder and paint

Than her peroxided bleached-out hair

And if she acts that way

It's 'cause you've had your day

Don't put her down, you helped put her there

She hangs around

Playing her clown

While her soul is aching inside

She's heartbreak's child

She just lives for your smile

To build her up in a world made by man

There's more to her than powder and paint

Than her peroxided bleached-out hair

And if she acts that way

It's 'cause you've had your day

Don't put her down, you helped put her there

At the house down the way

You sneak and you pay

For her love, her body or her shame

Then you call yourself a man

And say you just don't understand

How a woman could turn out that way

There's more to her than powder and paint

The men she picks up at the bar

And if she acts that way

It's 'cause you've had your day

Don't put her down, you helped put her there

And if she acts that way

It's 'cause you've had your day

Don't put her down, you helped put her there
