Her Story (F) Video (MV)

I've been a working girl since
Dad left the military
When it came to work, I was a luminary

Worked like a dog
Bosses love me, never fired
Never even met a man
Who I really desired

Daddy raised me better
Mama had more in mind
But dang if when I met him
Fell in love in record time
Get it together

If this was a movie
Guess I fail the Bechdel test
But dang if my heart knows
That man is simply the best

Next time I see him
I'm gonna say yes
I want him in whole - yes
Body, mind, soul

I deeply loved my father
I was very young I think
Don't know why mama stayed
When he began to drink

Dishonorably discharged
When I was sixteen
Couldn't wait to get out
His drinking made him mean

After that there wasn't
A single man I could trust
Slowly felt my heart
Turn to iron, then to rust

But my man, oh, my man

If this was a movie
Guess I fail the Bechdel test
But dang if my heart knows
My man is simply the best

Next time I see him
I'm gonna say yes
I want him in whole - yes
Body, mind, soul

I was in a desperate place
My parents couldn't pay their dues
Quit my job feeling morose
Boss made a pass and I refused

And once inside I grabbed everything
I could so I could put it in my mama's lap
But dang if the Mart wasn't
Just another trap

But my man, oh, my man
He really is the best
Just the best

If this was a movie
Guess I fail the Bechdel test
But dang if my heart knows
That man is simply the best

Next time I see him
I'm gonna say yes
I want him in whole - yes
Body, mind, soul
Gonna say yes
I want him

He's never made me scared or afraid
Even when I went on the attack
He's always been so good to me
Now I'm gonna go bring him back

If this was a movie
Guess I fail the Bechdel test
But dang if my heart knows
That man is simply the best
Always been so good to me
Now I'm gonna go bring him back

If this was a movie
Guess I fail the Bechdel test
But dang if my heart knows
That man is simply the best

Next time I see him
I'm gonna say yes
I want him in whole - yes
Body, mind, soul
Gonna say yes

I'm tired of working just to survive
From now on I fight so we can thrive
Next time I'm gonna say yes
