"Rated X" lyrics - THE WHITE STRIPES

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 kinda goal
Even men turned civil 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 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 woman rated X
Yeah

And if you're rated X
You're some kinda goal
Even men turned civil try to make
But I think it's wrong
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

[Spoken:]
Yeah, us women don't have a chance
'Cause if you've been married
You can't have any fun at all
You're rated X
No matter what you do
They're gonna talk about ya
Don't know what to think about it
Just let 'em talk
Just let 'em talk, Meg
