lyrics

I’ve never had a man
Without another waiting in his shadow
I’d never take a man
Who was greedy or jealous or callow

For I am a woman of wealth and fame
A daughter of kings without fear or shame
Intoxication is my name
Aren’t you the lucky one, lover?

I am the mead and this is my cup
Drink up, my love, drink up, drink up
I am the mead and this is my cup
Drink up, oh, my love

I’ve never been afraid
To cause a little bit of trouble
I’ll never be afraid
To burn it right down to rubble

For I am a woman who plays the game
Sweeter than honey, as hot as flame
And if you get burned then you’re to blame
Aren’t you the lucky one, lover?

I am the mead and this is my cup
Drink up, my love, drink up, drink up
I am the mead and this is my cup
Drink up, oh
Drink up, oh
Drink up, drink up
Drink up, my love

I’ve never been the kind
To leave it all up to the men
I’ll never be the kind
To put it all off until then

For I am a woman no man can tame
Sovereign when into the world I came
Your life will never be the same
Aren’t you the lucky one, lover?

I am the mead and this is my cup
Drink up, my love, drink up, drink up
I am the mead and this is my cup
Drink up, oh
Drink up, oh
Drink up, drink up
Drink up, oh, my love
