The Box Songtext
von Sammy Rae & The Friends

If you put a woman in a box
And you put a man right there beside her
Told them both to play the leader
Who you think would take the lead?
Which of them would get their point across
In which of them would just have to yes indeed

If you put a man in a box and a woman right beside him
Tell ′em take make the thing you're made for
And you make it out ok
Which of them you think is sticking it out
And which of them is kicking out the same damn day?

We are gathered here today to learn about our own race
Let us refrain from any bias as the observations take place

If you put a woman in a box
And you put a man right there beside her
It′s important that I spend tonight alone, is that ok?
Which of them you think will understand
And which of them will stand in the other one's way?


If you put a woman in a box
Oh what does it mean to be a woman in a box
What is it like to be a man
Which of them you think would stand in the other one's way?
And who would understand?

Oh, he sees her putting her dress on
And letting her hair out
He takes a head full of high hopes
To the porch where it can air out

Oh she′s got a half a mind to think it will never be the right time
Oh maybe
But they got a hell a lot of thinking to do before nighttime

We come together we say
Woooaaah woooaaah woooaaah
Woooaaah woooaaah woooaaah

We put a woman in a box and a man right there beside her
And they took care of each other
And they don′t ask for too much
And the woman and the man discover better ways to talk
Like through song and touch


She's having a happy box morning
Cooking with no pants on
He clears a little bit of living room floor for them to dance on
(Go get your dance on)
We are gathered here today to learn about our own selves
Let us be like lil children, learning from our grown selves
We come together we say
Woooaaah woooaaah woooaaah
