Well, if you've been a married woman, and things didn't seem to work out, divorce is the key to being loose and free, but you're gonna be talked about. Everybody knows that you loved once; they think you'll love again. You can't have a male friend when you're a has-been or a woman; you're rated X.

And if you're rated X, you're some kind of gold even men turning silver try to make, but I think it's wrong to judge every picture if a cheap camera makes a mistake. So if your best friend's husband says to you that you started lookin' good, you should've known he would, and he would if he could, and he will if you're rated X. Well, nobody knows where you're going, but they sure know where you've been. All they're thinking of is your experience in love; well, their minds fill up with sin. The women all look at you like you're bad; the men all hope you are. But if you go too far, you're gonna wear the scar of a women rated X. And if you're rated X, you're some kind of gold even men turning silver try to make, but I think it's wrong to judge every picture if a cheap camera makes a mistake. So if your best friend's husband says to you that you started lookin' good, you should've known he would, and he would if he could, and he will if you're rated X. ''Yeah, us women don't have a chance, 'cause if you've been married, you can't have no fun at all. You're rated X. No matter what they do, they're gonna talk about you. They don't know what to think about it. Just let 'em talk. Just let 'em talk, Meg.''

Lyrics

Well, if you've been a married woman, and things didn't seem to work out, divorce is the key to being loose and free, but you're gonna be talked about. Everybody knows that you loved once; they think you'll love again. You can't have a male friend when you're a has-been or a woman; you're rated X. And if you're rated X, you're some kind of gold even men turning silver try to make, but I think it's wrong to judge every picture if a cheap camera makes a mistake. So if your best friend's husband says to you that you started lookin' good, you should've known he would, and he would if he could, and he will if you're rated X. Well, nobody knows where you're going, but they sure know where you've been. All they're thinking of is your experience in love; well, their minds fill up with sin. The women all look at you like you're bad; the men all hope you are. But if you go too far, you're gonna wear the scar of a women rated X. And if you're rated X, you're some kind of gold even men turning silver try to make, but I think it's wrong to judge every picture if a cheap camera makes a mistake. So if your best friend's husband says to you that you started lookin' good, you should've known he would, and he would if he could, and he will if you're rated X. Yeah, us women don't have a chance, 'cause if you've been married, you can't have no fun at all. You're rated X. No matter what they do, they're gonna talk about you. They don't know what to think about it. Just let 'em talk. Just let 'em talk, Meg.
