(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

[ steel - piano ]

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...

No the man of the house ain't never home
