G
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
            D
But you're gonna be talked about
G
Everybody knows that you loved once
                         C
They think you'll love again
You can't have a male friend
      G
When you're a has been
      D                 G
Or a woman you're Rated X

Chorus:
               C
And if you're Rated X
You're some kind of gold
           G                       D
That even men turn uncivil try to make
        C
But I think it's wrong
To judge every picture
       G                      D
if a cheap camera makes a mistake

So if you're best friend's husband says to you
that you've started looking good
You should have 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 their 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 to far
You're gonna wear the scar
Of a woman, Rated X

Chorus

So if you're best friend's husband says to you
that you've started looking good
You should have known he would
And he would if he could
And he will if you're Rated X

G
Yeah us women don't have a chance
Cuz 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 ya
I don't know what to think about it
Just let 'em talk
Just let 'em talk Meg
