One Man Woman

Carly Simon · Boys In The Trees [1978]

Well it's plain as rain

And it's there for all the world to see

Just 'cause everybody does it

That doesn't make it right for me

Someone's making plans

Involvin' my old man

Everytime I turn by back around

I'm feelin' like a one man woman

Living in a two time town



Now in the place that I come from

The people don't grow on trees

(except some of the boys)

And you can't treat people like meat

Without getting brought to your knees

Now and then baby



The way I've been feeling

Since I hit this town

Like to jump in the river and drown

Feeling like a one man woman

Living in a two time town

Way I feel is like I'm living in a two time town



Sometimes I'd like

To get out on the floor

Shake it till dawn

Some young thing

Like to teach him the bump

Make me want to take him home



Well excuse me

I don't mean to preach you no lectures

Yeah but me and my man won't

Be able to stay for breakfast

Gotta go home now

I guess he's got the itch

And I'm just a bitch

Who's trying to bring him down



Feeling like a one man woman

Acting like a one man woman

I guess I'm just a one man woman

Who's living in a two time town
