They only thought they knew me.
Hitched by tradition
Played the woman-wife role
Cooked, cleaned and toy
My way of living
Never outside the vision
Doing what has always been
Have baby get fat
My folks used love as a weapon
Made threats if I didn't do
Double the trouble if I did
What difference would it make
A lost cause, love as a weapon
My first husband
I stood two of three
Seen and seldom heard
Even made love in silence
My plan to exit here
Saved penny by penny
Played the role of all okay
Took flying lessons at night
My folks used love as a weapon
Made threats if I didn't do
Double the trouble if I did
What difference would it make
A lost cause, love as a weapon
Love is love
A weapon a weapon
Love is love
A weapon a weapon
Love is love

LOVE AS A WEAPON
My first husbandHitched by tradition

Never outside the vision
Doing what has always been
Have baby get fat
My folks used love as a weapon
Made threats if I didn't do

What difference would it make
