Subject: RE: Lyr Req: (no need) pissin' on a skunk
Here's my transcription of the beginning (I think) of the song from a sound sample at Saffire: The Uppity Blues Women's web site:

(NO NEED) PISSIN' ON A SKUNK
(Gaye Adegbalola)
(from "Hot Flash," 1991.)

I saw you again for the first time just the other day.
I wanted to hurt you like you hurt me, throw some dirt in your face.
But I'm a bigger person. So low I have not sunk.
Ain't no need for me to be pissin' on a skunk.

My heart started thumpin'. My hands got sweaty, too,
Thinkin' 'bout the pissin' I was gonna lay on you.
But I'm a peaceful person; don't want no troubled funk.
Ain't no need for me to be pissin' on a skunk.

Well, I'm sorry, so, so sorry you did me all those dirty, dirty deeds ....
