Tonight, I, I just want to talk to the ladies, oh fellows your cool but girls |
|
If you've got a good man, you'd better keep him, |
|
Oh I know you're saying right now, what does she know |
|
Who is she to tell me about my situation, well, I don't know your situation |
|
But whatever it is, you should try to stay together |
|
You know that big argument that you had the other night, remember |
|
Well, today its not nothing, just don't let him leave you honey |
|
Cause then you'll find out that it wasn't those real big things you loved about him |
|
It was the real small things, go on and laugh but its true |
|
You know, things that you've seen a thousand times around the house |
|
But never paid any attention to, like helping with the groceries |
|
And helping in the yard and painting and repairing and huh, paying the bills |
|
But you know now, all I have is memories and regrets |
|
I could have given our love a chance to grow but no |
|
I had to challenge it and be heard (oh), let me tell you something |
|
That female liberation stuff, I don't know, sometimes I don't think its worth it |
|
And I'm really feeling, feeling kind of bad yaul, I'm catching hell living here alone |
|
Hmm, I never realized, oh Lord, that you mean so much to me |
|
I'm catching hell living here alone, I want you to come back baby |
|
Come back cause here's where you belong, oh yeah |
|
If I could replay, if I could replay that whole scene again, oh well |
|
You know that I would never, never say it again, that our love, our love is at its end |
|
And oh, you know that I would kind of ease on back, yes I would |
|
And let confusion pass on by, I took moves well, oh yeah |
|
Without one good reason why, I'm catching hell, catching hell |
|
Lord I'm living, living, living here alone, Alone, lone, I didn't believe it could be |
|
You know all the pressure on me, all the time, oh, I'm catching hell, well, well |
|
Living here alone, lone, lone, lone, lone, lone, lone, to tell you the truth |
|
To tell you the truth I'm going out of my mind---, yeah, oh do you hear me tonight |
|
I don't have too (this is my story) much more to say except |
|
Somebody (hey, this is my song) told me that if you've got something |
|
That's good to you And you don't use it (sad, sad) you might lose it (sad, song) |
|
(Song, so sad) So girls hold on to your good thing (Oh), (you gotta hold on a little bit now) |
|
And don't let go, oh---do you hear me tonight, It's so sad living alone |
|
Living alone (Hmm), hold on to your good thing, hold on, (well, well) oh yeah |
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah---oh, oh, oh, Lordy, Lordy do you know what its like |
|
Catching hell, (somebody turn up the microphone, oh---), Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no |
