Man Of The House

Well I ain't proud of what

I'm 'bout to do

All alone up here with you

With that picture of your man

Face down upon the night stand, so he can't see

And I don't like running all the red lights here

Every time the coast is clear

Any time you need my lovin'

You know I'll come running, faithfully'

Cause he stays so busy with his money

And you, you get so lonely when he's gone

And me, I'm just your temporary lover 'til your blues are gone

I'm the man of the house whenever he ain't home

Now the statues on the side of that big gate

They're laughing as

I drive away

And I can't keep from thinking

Are they laughing at your old man or at me?

And the only part that

I don't like to play

Is the part when

I get up and go away

I find it mighty hard

Just keeping this old heart tucked away'

Cause he stays so busy with his money

And you, you get so lonely when he's gone

And me, I'm just your temporary lover 'til your blues are gone

I'm the man of the house whenever he ain't home

I'm the man of the house when your other man ain't home

I'm the man of the house when your other man ain't home

I'm the man of the house when your other man ain't home

I'm the man of the house when your other man ain't home
