Saffire-The Uppity Blues Women recorded a song called (No Need) Pissin' on a Skunk. It's on the album HOT FLASH, and according to allmusic.com it was written by Gaye Adegbalola, one of the women in Saffire. I have checked for the title under "N" for no need, under "P" for pissin' and under "A" for the actual words "ain't no need pissin' on a skunk". Can anyone send me the lyrics for the song? Thanks so much.

I posted this request yesterday and got no reponses, so I thought I'd post again with a different subject, hoping someone knew the group. Here's the original request -

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 ....
