Lyrics:

Give me a woman
With brass knuckles in her purse
Give me a widow
Who drinks whiskey in the hearse
Give me a poet 
With a pinup disposition
Give me a lady 
Who won't hesitate
To kick somebody's teeth in

Give me that woman 
With a dirty word jab
And a mean society hook

Give me a woman
Who says everything she feels
Give me a goddess 
Who reads Hemmingway in heels
Give me an optimistic
Anarchistic killer
Give me a lady who
Won't hesitate to teach me
How to thrill her

Give me that woman with 
a dirty word jab
And a mean society hook

Lets me bare witness
To her darkness
When she's mourning
And when she's threatened
She'll go to war
Without a warning

Give me a soldier
who takes everything she needs
Give me a heathen
Who holds heaven in her teeth
Give me that 
Guts & Swagger
Cloak & Dagger-ella
Give me a 
Heavy-throttle
Anti-patriarchal
Fortune-teller 

Give me that woman
With a dirty word jab
And a mean society hook

This is literally SOOO SLEPT ON?? The fact music like this can go unnoticed is a fucking CRIME

[alphabo]

I’ve been a fan of yours for a few years now and I’m only finding this one now

How did I only find this banger now ?!?!
AND ITS SO GOOD!

[nikkospelledlikethat]

Someone drank their respect women juice! Seriously I don't think I've ever heard a song like this I love it!

[doodlebug]

No one:
Shayfer James: * Drinks respect women juice *

[beefromashroom]

Respect women juice in music form <3 love this song so much!!

[BibsTheBib]

I have been listening to your music since 2019 and mostly a lurker but like I am obsessed with this song like actually

[SteamUndWhiskers]

I'm so glad you're still making music...!

[ominous-lmcq]

I love this song and hadn’t watched the music video yet! I think the part right before “give me a soldier...” where the screen goes dark and I saw my own reflection... it reminded me that I can be as strong and incredible as all of the women in the video, and I really appreciated that

[sammclogh]

Duude, this is so funky and tasteful, like shit, are there words for you any more?? You've taken my standards and thrown them on the top shelf 😂

[maggieroethler]

How'd I miss this? It's phenomenal!

[starz]

this is definitely a style i’ve never heard from james, this is a cool song i’ll be honest

[ilaughatyou]

Fucking amazing for many reasons. Classy voice, tone, and texture in video- but the music video imagery is so modern! I mean that to say; you have a diverse cast here, with words that mean something to me and my generation of women, all prefaced with a classy tone/voice of older eras. What a fucking great production, beautiful!!

[spaceclown_xyz]

IM SO HAPPY I KNOW YOU, YOURE SUCH AN UNDERRATED ARTIST, MY GOD

[sealedtugboat]

They all look like they’re having fun!

[mrshighness]

im deadass obsessed with this song thank you for feeding my autism once again

[vepmoon]

I love this song! I've been a fan since I found Weight of the World and I just love the sound of this music!

[lynng.]

My friend just shared this song with me and now I'm obsessed. You're music is so good and tastefully done!! Just

[Reneehereee]

awesome, love your other songs, but this is not only a good song, but a cool message. I'm a lady (despite what my username suggests lol) and this is just awesome that your giving a shout out to all the ladies like that. I always appreciate when women are given a shout out like this, make it less shitty to be a female..

[greytging]

Give me a woman
With brass knuckles in her purse
Give me a widow
Who drinks whiskey in the hearse
Give me a poet
With a pinup disposition
Give me a lady
Who won′t hesitate
To kick somebody's teeth in

Give me that woman
With a dirty word jab
And a mean society hook

Give me a woman
Who says everything she feels
Give me a goddess
Who reads Hemmingway in heels
Give me an optimistic
Anarchistic killer
Give me a lady who
Won′t hesitate to teach me
How to thrill her

Give me that woman with
A dirty word jab
And a mean society hook

Lets me bare witness
To her darkness
When she's mourning
And when she's threatened
Goes to war without a warning

Lets me bare witness
To her darkness
When she′s mourning
And when she′s threatened
She'll go to war
She′ll go to war
She'll go to war
She′ll go to war
She'll go to war
Without a warning

Give me a soldier
Who takes everything she needs
Give me a heathen
Who holds heaven in her teeth
Give me a
Guts & Swagger
Cloak & Dagger-ella
Give me a
Heavy-throttle
Anti-patriarchal
Fortune-teller

Give me that woman
With a dirty word jab
And a mean mean mean society hook
