With My Clothes On

Story Behind The Song

Turn on the TV and you won't be able to escape the motivation behind this song. Many women want their "cake", but they don't want to bake it. They want to eat the whole thing - but they complain about the indigestion. Enough already!

Song Description

Ladies, you can't have it both ways... Either women are worthy of respect, honor, and equal treatment... or they are items to be purchased for amusement. And don't blame it on the government or your empty bank account. Too many women find other ways to pay the bills. Oh yeah - don't be surprised if your love who seems so forward thinking with regards to your career isn't secretly seeking a little more of a challenge.

Lyrics

With My Clothes On
Words and Music by Elizabeth (Beth) Davidson, BMI - 2006

Lord have mercy, girl what's wrong with you?
You're giving working girls a real bad name.
Sell your soul with every pound of flesh
And say society's to blame?

You?re not the only one with bills to pay
Or mouths to feed all on your own.
Now working hard ain't killed me yet
I don't have not one regret
And I did it with my clothes on.

Chorus:
Girl tell me am I getting through?
Can't earn respect with what you do.
Some man convinced you less is more?
When you?re prancing ?round on HIS dance floor!
No you ain't got a thing on me ---
You done stripped away your dignity
I might work two jobs to pay my bills
Feed my kids and get my thrills
But I do it with my clothes on.

Every day he drops you off
In that little red sports car...
But then he makes his way ?cross town
To a different kind of bar.

See, your love is ancient history
Some me prefer a little mystery
And with a good ol' country song -
Looks like your baby?s up and gone.
And I did it with my clothes on.

Chorus:
Girl tell me am I getting through?
You never earn respect with what you do.
Some man convinced you less is more?
While you?re prancing ?round on HIS dance floor!
No you ain't got a thing on me ---
?Cause at least I have my dignity
I might work two jobs to pay my bills
Feed my kids and get my thrills
But I do it with my clothes on.
