Beaten by a Girl

from Amateur Dramatics (EP) by The Photocopies

lyrics

I don't know who he thinks he is, but he's a little absurd
He likes the ladies all around to only tell him, "Yes, sir"
Although he thinks he's very sharp, he couldn't understand her
Now how's he gonna live it down?
He was beaten by, beaten by a girl
Beaten by a girl
Beaten by a girl

Beaten by a smarter individual at every single turn
Because he doesn't have the sense or humility to learn
He's used to women caving in to him all around the world
So how's it possible that he's been beaten by, beaten by a girl?
Beaten by a girl
Beaten by a girl
Beaten by a girl
Beaten by a girl
Beaten by a girl
Beaten by a girl
Beaten by a girl

What happened to all the respect that was shown him?
How could any woman own him?
All he knows is this is not how it was meant to be
Oh, is he in the wrong century?
How could a man of his virility fail?
He's always been such a dominant male
He used to lord it on top of the world
It's all over now

'Cause he was beaten by a girl
Beaten by a girl
Beaten by a girl
Beaten by a girl
Beaten by a girl
Beaten by a girl
Beaten by a girl
He was beaten by a girl
Oh

Nobody prepared him for this
His ignorance is no longer bliss
He's gotta prove his worth if he has any
Now he's beaten by a girl
