Anita Renee Cockerham (born February 6, 1967), known professionally as Anita Cochran, is an American country music singer, songwriter, guitarist and record producer. Signed to Warner Bros. Records in 1997, she made her debut on the U.S. country charts that year with the release of her first album Back to You. It produced the hit single "What If I Said", a duet with country music artist Steve Wariner, which reached Number One in early 1998, producing not only Anita's first Number One overall, but also Wariner's first Number One since 1989. Although she never entered the Top 40 on the country charts again, she recorded a second album for Warner Bros. before being dropped in 2004.
Anita Cochran was born in South Lyon, Michigan, into a family that enjoyed listening to country music. She began to play guitar at an early age, and later learned to play banjo, mandolin and Dobro as well. A local country musician, Anita's father often took her to country music festivals. She later found work both in bands and as a solo act, and was eventually hired to manage Pearl Recording Studios, a studio in Canton, Michigan.

It was a man's world for a day and a half
Adam had a garden for a bachelor pad
But something was missing in his paradise
Then along came Eve, the apple of his eye
Without hesitation he gave into temptation
¡®Cause God created woman to raise a little Cain
Gave her a softer side, put fire into her eyes to drive a man insane
He knew what He was doing, ¡®cause history has proven
Since God created woman man's never been the same
Old Christopher Columbus would have never set sail
Without a little push from Isabel
Alexander Graham invented the phone
So his wife could ring a bell when she wanted his home
Some feminine persistence can make a world of difference
¡®Cause God created woman to raise a little Cain
Gave her a softer side, put fire into her eyes to drive a man insane
He knew what He was doing, ¡®cause history has proven
Since God created woman man's never been the same
It's all a part of the plan, for the good of every man
¡®Cause God created woman to raise a little Cain
Gave her a softer side, put fire into her eyes to drive a man insane
He knew what He was doing, ¡®cause history has proven
