[Verse 1]
Well, if you've been a married woman
And things didn't seem to work out
Divorce is the key to bein' loose 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 or a woman
You're rated X

[Chorus]
And if you're rated X, you're some kind of gold
Even men turnin' silver 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 shoulda known he would, and he would if he could
And he will if you're rated X

[Verse 2]
Well, nobody knows where you're goin'
But they sure know where you've been
All they're thinkin' of is your experience of love
Oh, 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

[Chorus]
And if you're rated X, you're some kind of gold
Even men turnin' silver 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 shoulda known he would, and he would if he could
And he will if you're rated X

[Outro]
Why, us women don't have a chance
'Cause if you've been married, you can't have no fun at all
No, 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 about it
Just give 'em somethin' to talk about, I guess
Best thing we can do is let 'em talk
