From the recording I'm Just a Man
Lyrics
I promise, baby, just another night or two – tops
I’m no good for money, I never touched a mop – (or a broom) yeah
Darlin’, I got lovin’ – you got room
I’m rise and shinin’ while she’s drivin’ home from her 9 to 5
I’m eggs and bacon while she’s makin’ up her evenin’ mind
But guess what, baby? I’m already home – mmm
And I’m sorry for what I said to your landlord
I don’t wanna say it, I don’t wanna say it
But she likes it when I do
I don’t wanna say it, I don’t wanna say it
But she likes it when I do
Ooh
Lover, don’t you send me to sleep with the dog
It’s just a matter of time ‘til I find me a new job – (or a diamond ring)
I’m headed out, baby. Don’t wait up – naw
But can I get a little bread and sugar for good luck?
Oh
But I don’t wanna say it, I don’t wanna say it
But she likes it when I do
I don’t wanna say it, I don’t wanna say it
But she likes it when I do
Well, I don’t, so I won’t
I don’t bring nothin’ when I walk through the door
I’m just a man. That’s all I’m good for
Well, you already know then, don’t you?
She caught me lackin’, sent me packin’ in the mid-afternoon
I wandered round the neighborhood ‘til I found the moon
Yeah, I’ve been down before, and I’ll be back once more
Just as soon as I remember where the hell that back door went
I don’t wanna say it, I don’t wanna say it
But she likes it when I do
I don’t wanna say it, I don’t wanna say it
But she likes it when I do
I don't wanna say it (I don't wanna say it)
Don't wanna say it to you, oh
I don't wanna say it (I don't wanna say it – na, na, na, na)
