Alex, Alex, Alex, baby
Alex, Alex, her dress is as tacky as your suit
Alex, Alex, baby; Alex, Alex, baby

Don't just close your mind
Ooh, ooh
You don't realize
I just want what is right
Still you say
Criticize

Her dress is as tacky as your suit
Her dress is as tacky as your suit
Alex, baby, wait for me
Alex, Alex
Her dress is as tacky as your suit
Her dress is as tacky as your suit
Alex, Alex, Alex, baby, wait for me

[Verse 1: Alexander O'Neal, Woman]
Can't you find something else to talk about?
Is this song the only one you sing? (Babе)
Makes you look better whеn you put things down
Who values your opinion?
[Pre-Chorus: Alexander O'Neal, Woman]
Don't criticize my friends (Babe)
Criticize my ideas
Don't criticize my lifestyle
I'm fed up 'cause all you wanna do is criticize

Don't just close your mind
Ooh, ooh (Criticize, yeah)
