    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    And I'm glad to see the C word is on a lot of people's least favorite word list. Very disrespectful IMO.

    I only hate hearing that word from my brother. Anyone in the world can call me a cunt and it wouldn't matter. But if my brother does it, I get violent.

    Besides, the only person in the world who deserves that title is Ann Coulter.

    i don't know... but if they read or saw The Vagina Monologues on stage, they would hate it less...

    there's a great scene in it which really empowers and embraces the word...

    i think that it's because women't don't normally say it... it's typically used by men... if women said it more, it wouldn't sound as bad...
