[Verse 1]
EI don't care much about cocaine
EAnd you never see me jumpin' out no airplane
EWine and whisky don't gimme no thrill
      ENC                                         NC
And I don't care nothin' 'bout them nasty little pills
BBut women now Athat's a whole 'nother thEing
EYou won't see me wastin' all the money I made
EAnd you ain't gonna never see me drive no escalade
EIf you're looking for a handout you wastin' your time
                    E     ENC                                ENC
I wouldn't give a crutch to a cripple, I wouldn't give a   bum a dime
But wBomen tAhat's a whole 'nother thEing
ENow when you tAalk about your women that's a whEole 'nother thing
EI like 'em bAig, tall, short, fat, tEhin and in between
I lAike 'em when they're gentle and I lEike 'em when they're mean
I lF#mike 'em when they whisper but I lBove 'em when they scream

EI don't buy stock, I don't place no bets
EAnd I won't be smokin' none of them stanky cigarettes
EOnly one thing make me throw my money away
                   E     ENC                 ENC
And that's a little    T L C and a little   T&A
But wBomen tAhat's a whole 'nother thEing
EI'm gonna say it again - wBomen tAhat's a whole 'nother thEing
Play the blues somebody...
