Looking for a place to hide ain't so easy
When you've got an offer coming for free
Looking for a place to hide ain't so easy
When you're coming down from Mozambique
I've been walking forty miles to get away from this piece
And I haven't got energy left in my feet
But I've got a plan, you've got to understand
I ain't nothing but a broken woman
My threading's all fixed and I'm ready to go
But there's something special holding me back
My threading's all fixed and I'm ready to go
But I've got fifteen dresses painted in black
The lights are blown further down the street
So there's a place to sleep and a meal to eat
But I've got a plan, you've got to understand
I ain't nothing but a broken woman
What is life but just a book of places you have been
What is life but just a map of things that you ain't seen
My words ain't clear but there's no need to rephrase myself, baby, I'll be gone in a day
But I've got a plan, you've got to understand
I ain't nothing but a broken woman
Noted sharps and cornered flats
Are coming and going, back to back
But I've got a plan, you've got to understand
I ain't nothing but a broken woman
