The Man of the House

(Larry Brinkley - Lee McAlpin)



When the man of the house ain't never home

Here I am again tonight all by myself

It's not hard to figure out

That you're out with someone else.



So this girl's gettin' ready, gettin' sad to go wrong

'Cause the man of the house ain't never home

When the man of the house ain't never home

That's enough to cause most women to go wrong.



When you stagger in tonight

And find me gone

It's 'cause the man of the house

Ain't never home.

You didn't think

That I would ever slip and fall

Well, that's what you get, forsaken

And don't forget you caused it all.



And it gets pretty lonesome

When you'll have to sleep alone

When the man of the house

Ain't never home.



When the man of the house ain't never home

Here I am again tonight all by myself

It's not hard to figure out

That you're out with someone else.



So this girl's gettin' ready, gettin' sad to go wrong

'Cause the man of the house ain't never home

When the man of the house ain't never home

That's enough to cause most women to go wrong.



When you stagger in tonight

And find me gone

It's 'cause the man of the house

Ain't never home.



No, the man of the house ain't never home...
