Tonight, i, i just want to talk to the ladies, oh fellows your cool but girls



If you've got a good man, you'd better keep him,



Oh i know you're saying right now, what does she know



Who is she to tell me about my situation, well, i don't know your situation



But whatever it is, you should try to stay together



You know that big argument that you had the other night, remember



Well, today its not nothing, just don't let him leave you honey



Cause then you'll find out that it wasn't those real big things you loved about him



It was the real small things, go on and laugh but its true



You know, things that you've seen a thousand times around the house



But never paid any attention to, like helping with the groceries



And helping in the yard and painting and repairing and huh, paying the bills



But you know now, all i have is memories and regrets



I could have given our love a chance to grow but no



I had to challenge it and be heard (oh), let me tell you something



That female liberation stuff, i don't know, sometimes i don't think its worth it



And i'm really feeling, feeling kind of bad yaul, i'm catching hell living here alone



Hmm, i never realized, oh lord, that you mean so much to me



I'm catching hell living here alone, i want you to come back baby



Come back cause here's where you belong, oh yeah



If i could replay, if i could replay that whole scene again, oh well



You know that i would never, never say it again, that our love, our love is at its end



And oh, you know that i would kind of ease on back, yes i would



And let confusion pass on by, i took moves well, oh yeah



Without one good reason why, i'm catching hell, catching hell



Lord i'm living, living, living here alone, alone, lone, i didn't believe it could be



You know all the pressure on me, all the time, oh, i'm catching hell, well, well



Living here alone, lone, lone, lone, lone, lone, lone, to tell you the truth



To tell you the truth i'm going out of my mind---, yeah, oh do you hear me tonight



I don't have too (this is my story) much more to say except



Somebody (hey, this is my song) told me that if you've got something



That's good to you and you don't use it (sad, sad) you might lose it (sad, song)



(song, so sad) so girls hold on to your good thing (oh), (you gotta hold on a little bit now)



And don't let go, oh---do you hear me tonight, it's so sad living alone



Living alone (hmm), hold on to your good thing, hold on, (well, well) oh yeah



Yeah, yeah, yeah---oh, oh, oh, lordy, lordy do you know what its like



Catching hell, (somebody turn up the microphone, oh---), oh, no, no, no, no, no, no
