There's a woman on this street
spends all day on her feet
walk and talk here she comes again
don't make her say pretty please
why don't you help her off her knees
you might even listen
'cause she don't need no reprimanding
she just needs some understanding
then she might open

now you're sitting home right now
you are fighting your own undertow
you might say you are spinning your wheels
go ahead erase the chalk
drink the water
remove that block
she knows how it feels

no need to say pretty please
go ahead get off your knees
someone might listen
'cause you don't need no reprimanding
you just needs some understanding
then you might open

yeah, she's onto you
go ahead drop that other shoe
let your defenses fall
cause it takes a lot to face the truth
you don't need to judge poor Ruth
we all need some living proof

go ahead get off your knees
someone might listen
'cause we don't need no reprimanding
we all just need some understanding
then we might open
open, open
open
