my old lady
She wore an S.E.G. when she came back home Like the cat that ate the canary And I stood befuddled, a chauvanist stud With his mistress quite contrary I was smack up against the moment I was afraid i would face someday But the truth is a wall that you can't blow down And it won't be laughed away  You see, my old lady went and took herself  A young man last night It got me crazy when she said,  "Baby, don't you get uptight, I think maybe it's the time for you to see the light," She said, "It's alright now, boy, I'm yours tonight."  Now I admit my imagination's been  The sweetest sinner of all Yes it lives like a snake in Eden And it forgives each time I fall So I've been Casanova I've double-dated with Don Juan And though I've been doing almost everything I never dreamed she'd be carrying on!  You see, my old lady went and took herself  A young man last night It got me crazy when she said,  "Baby, don't you get uptight, I think maybe it's the time for you to see the light," She said, "It's alright now, boy, I'm yours tonight."  She says that she still loves me She says that last night was no big deal She says, "Why can't a woman play the same damn game And act out what she feels?" She says she's going to take a bath I hear her singing in the tub upstairs While I'm sitting here spitting out chunks of my heart Forced into being fair, While she's splashing rround up there, I'm supposed to act like I don't care, I hear the devil laughing somewhere!  You see, my old lady went and took herself  A young man last night It got me crazy when she said,  "Baby, don't you get uptight, I think maybe it's the time for you to see the light," She said, "It's alright now, boy, I'm yours tonight."
