Only Women Bleed Lyrics
He's got the power,
Oh, she's got the need,
She spends her life
Through pleasing up her man.
She feeds him dinner
Or anything she can.
He smokes and drinks
And don't come home at all.
Only women bleed....
He's your life's mistake.
All you're really looking for
Is an even break.
He lies right at you.
You now hate this game.
He slaps you once in a while
And you live and love in pain.
Don't spend a dime,
Clean up this grime,
And you there down on your knees
Begging me please come watch my bleed
Only women bleed.....
This one is about abuse towards women.
I agree. It's very rare that men get abused
I agree. It's very rare that men get abused
How could you mention Nickelback along with Alice Cooper? They don't even compare. I love how this song how so many possibilities.
Beautiful song. Classic white trash American song. Slash played this instrumentally and Axl used to sing the first few lines of the 3rd verse as an intro to Knockin' On Heaven's Door live in concert.
Alice rocks.
AliceCooperChick: a wimpy prelude to a Nickleback song? Nickleback?? Isn't that the band with the frontman who sounds like he's constipated? The made-for-commercial-radio-to-play-25-times-a-day, sickly melodramatic, prefabricated-especially-for-the-35+-year-old-female-demographic band Nickleback? You mean THAT Nickleback?
Anyhoo... one of AC's (many) best.
LMFAO I couldnt have said it better! SHE needs to change her name. She is not worthy! I hated that song so much that I almost felt sorry for men that abuse women! Then I caught myself! Thats what the power of the devil in commercial music cand do to you!

This song is about women who love men who abuse them..and still continue to allow it. My sister works for a battered womens shelter near L.A. and most are long time abused women who stayed with their "man" until they found the courage to leave and find a better life. Still, most go back to the guy who abused them in the first place or to someone else who will. For some, it is all they know....XLNT song about this weird phenomenon....
It's quite obviously about domestic abuse but my dumbarse friend, who obviously never looked at the lyrics thought it was about periods!!!
Wow, that's a stupid moment if I've ever read one lol.

I've known several people who simply saw the song title on the cassette and got offended.

I think it has to do with his dad abusing his mother when he was young. Welcome to My Nightmare every song seems to have leaning towards his childhood
As paulothemanio rightly points out, this song is not about a woman's period, however, using the phrase "only women bleed" helps develop the idea that women are fragile. The metaphor could even extend to include a girl losing her virginity. These connotations reinforce the main idea of the song (domestic abuse) and evokes empathy from the listener by showing the pain and suffering that a woman faces in life.
Truely a great song from a great album, so unstereotypically Alice Cooper that it is attributed to his covers.
its not about his father abusing his mother when he was a child. (His father was a priest if that has anything to do with it). On an interview he said it was only so that he could have something on welcome to my nightmare that contrasts with all the other songs. he was told he couldnt have an entire album about nightmare, so he wrote this 'ballad'.
Anyway.... I love the end of this song....
I like thelive version of this song on the album, "The Alice Cooper Show". It's a great ballad.
