'X 등급'으로 낙인 찍힌 이들은 사랑과 관계에서 소외감을 느끼고, 이러한 사회적 시선이 그녀의 삶에 어떤 상처를 남기는지를 강조한다

Well, if you've been a married woman
And things didn't seem to work out
Divorce is the key to being loose and free
But 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
And if you're rated X, you're some kind of goal
That even men turned civil try to make
But I think it's wrong to judge every picture
If a cheap camera makes a mistake
So if your best friend's husband says to you
That you've started lookin' good
You should've known he would and he would if he could
And he will if you're rated X
Well, nobody knows where you're going
But they sure know where you've been
All they're thinking of is your experience in love
Where their minds fill 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
