The Box Songtext
von Sammy Rae & The Friends

You put a woman in a box and a man right there beside her
Tell ′em both to play the leader, who you think would take the lead?
Which of them will get their point across?
And which of them will just have to, yes indeed?

You put a man in a box and a woman right beside him
Tell him, "Make the thing you're made
For, and you′ll make it out okay"
Which of them you think is sticking out?
And which of them is kicking out the same damn day?

Oh, we are gathered here today to learn about our own ways
Let us refrain from any bias as the observations take place

You put a woman in a box and a man right there beside her
"It's important that I spend tonight alone, is that okay?"
Which of them you think'll understand?
Which of them is standing in the other one′s way?


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 is standing 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′ll never be the right time
Oh, maybe, but they got a hella lot
Of thinking to do before night time

Oh, they come together, they say
Woah, woah
Can we sing it again?
Woah, woah

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
The woman and the man discover better ways to talk
Like through song and touch

Ah, she′s shoving her happy box morning cooking with no pants on
Come here, baby
He clears a little bit of living room floor for them to dance on
We'll get to dancing


Oh, we are gathered here today to learn about our own selves
We are them little tiny children learning from our grown selves
Oh, we come together, we say
Woah, woah, woah, woah
