Don't Put Her Down, You Helped Put Her There

No la menosprecies, ayudaste a ponerla ahí

Don't Put Her Down, You Helped Put Her There

Tiras de la cuerdaYou pull the string
Ella es tu jugueteShe's your plaything
Puedes hacerla o deshacerla, es ciertoYou can make her or break her, it's true
La maltratas, la acusasYou abuse her, accuse her
La das vueltas y la usasTurn her round and use her
Luego la abandonas cuando te convieneThen forsake her any time it suits you

Ella es más que polvo y maquillajeThere's more to her than powder and paint
Que su cabello decoloradoThan her peroxided bleached-out hair
Y si actúa asíAnd if she acts that way
Es porque tú ya tuviste tu díaIt's 'cause you've had your day
No la menosprecies, ayudaste a ponerla ahíDon't put her down, you helped put her there

Ella rondaShe hangs around
Actuando como payasaPlaying her clown
Mientras su alma está sufriendo por dentroWhile her soul is aching inside
Ella es la hija del desamorShe's heartbreak's child
Ella solo vive por tu sonrisaShe just lives for your smile
Para elevarla en un mundo hecho por el hombreTo build her up in a world made by man

Ella es más que polvo y maquillajeThere's more to her than powder and paint
Que su cabello decoloradoThan her peroxided bleached-out hair
Y si actúa asíAnd if she acts that way
Es porque tú ya tuviste tu díaIt's 'cause you've had your day
No la menosprecies, ayudaste a ponerla ahíDon't put her down, you helped put her there

En la casa de la esquinaAt the house down the way
Te escabulles y pagasYou sneak and you pay
Por su amor, su cuerpo o su vergüenzaFor her love, her body or her shame
Luego te llamas a ti mismo hombreThen you call yourself a man
Y dices que simplemente no entiendesAnd say you just don't understand
Cómo una mujer podría terminar asíHow a woman could turn out that way

Ella es más que polvo y maquillajeThere's more to her than powder and paint
Los hombres que recoge en el barThe men she picks up at the bar
Y si actúa asíAnd if she acts that way
Es porque tú ya tuviste tu díaIt's 'cause you've had your day
No la menosprecies, ayudaste a ponerla ahíDon't put her down, you helped put her there

Y si actúa asíAnd if she acts that way
Es porque tú ya tuviste tu díaIt's 'cause you've had your day
No la menosprecies, ayudaste a ponerla ahíDon't put her down, you helped put her there
