Lyrics Trouble and Strife - Everything But the Girl
Who
would
be
born
into
a
mans's
man's
man's
world?
But
what
do
children
care
For
grown
ups'
despair
A
house
can
hold
both
boy
and
girl
But
every
mother's
son
grows
up
And
daughters
imitate
And
the
burden
of
careworn
world
Is
his
to
bear
Hers
to
wait
As
the
open
world
of
a
tomboy
girl
Closes
on
a
growing
wife
From
a
childhood
clear
Through
teenage
years
That
always
seem
to
be
more
Trouble
than
strife.
From
the
hot
dark
of
the
night
To
the
cold
light
of
day
From
the
cradle
to
wife
to
grave
Unless
I
stand
in
the
way
As
the
open
world
of
a
tomboy
girl
Closes
in
with
growing
strife
For
my
own
sake
I'll
comfort
take
To
know
I'd
never
make
a
wife
As
the
open
world
of
a
tomboy
girl
Closes
in
with
growing
strife
For
my
own
sake
I'll
comfort
take
In
the
knowledge
that
I'd
never
make
a
wife
You
hear
them
talk
of
women's
way
with
hatred
And
it
cuts
me
like
a
knife
Poor
men,
so
much
to
bear
The
children
and
the
trouble
and
strife
The
open
world
of
a
tomboy
girl
Is
the
best
of
life
From
a
childhood
clear
You
end
up
here
In
trouble
and
strife
