He comes home late from work,   Expects dinner to be served,   A big steak cause real men need meat,   Has two kids already,   A third one on the way and a grown man who takes her for granted   (So many dreams)   So much potential settled for traditional security   Life's a scary game to play where men set the rules   And men possess all the assets      Hits her heart then comes crawling back with tears in his eyes to apologize      She looks in the mirror   A black eye stares back at her   Wishing she hadn't been so afraid   To stand on her own but it's never to late to take control of her life      Might be a scary game to play where men set the rules   And men possess all the assets but girls kick ass too
