Couldn't blame you for falling for me

For liking everything that you see

A man in your situation tries to go out and get what he needs

With all your talk about wanting to be free

Just to be yourself and to be with me

Yeah I thought you were ready to be that man

But you had to run back to your leash

Now I'm not gonna wear your scarlet letter

You want me to but I know better

You tried and tried to chase me down

And you couldn't catch me

Now you're put out

And I'm not gonna wear your scarlet letter

Now you're having more trouble at home

And you're not sure just where the blame should go

Well hasn't it ever occurred to you that maybe you shouldn't have roamed

And what about your kids and your wife

She won't blame you, you can bet your life

'Cause she can't deal with who you really are, besides

Jealousy cuts like a knife

Now I'm not gonna wear your scarlet letter

You want me to but I know better

You tried and tried to chase me down

And you couldn't catch me

Now you're put out

And I'm not gonna wear your scarlet letter

Just because I'm a woman

Doesn't make you any better

You were the one who chased after me

Chase the truth baby and it will set you free

Then we won't need no scarlet letter

Now I'm not gonna wear your scarlet letter

You want me to but I know better

You tried and tried to chase me down

And you couldn't catch me

Now you're put out

And I'm not gonna wear your scarlet letter

I'm not gonna wear your scarlet letter

You know you never had it better

And I'm not gonna wear your scarlet letter
