  • Well, if you've been a married woman
    And things didn't seem to work out
    Divorce is the key to bein' lose and free
    So you're gonna be talked about

    Everybody knows that you've loved once
    They think you'll love again
    You can't have a male friend
    When you're a has been of a woman you're rated X

    And if you're rated X
    You're some kind of goal
    That even man turned civil try to make
    But I think it's wrong to judge every picture
    If a cheap camera makes a mistake

    And when your best friend's husband says to you
    You've sure 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 goin'
    But they sure know where you've been
    All their thinkin' of is your experience of love
    Their minds eat 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

    And if you're rated X
    You're some kind of goal
    That even man turned civil try to make
    But I think it's wrong to judge every picture
    If a cheap camera makes a mistake

    And when your best friend's husband says to you
    You've sure started lookin' good
    You should've known he would
    And he would if he could and he will if you're rated X

    (Why us women don't have a chance)
    ('Cause if you've been married, you can't have no fun at all)
    (Well, you're rated X)
    (No matter what you do, they're gonna talk about you)
    (Look down their noses)
    (I, I don't know what to think)
    (Give's them something to talk about I guess) Writer/s: Loretta Lynn
