I'm used to havin' my breakfast in bed

Never have to lift a finger to butter my bread

I keep my baby satisfied if you know what I mean

'Cause she told me I'm walkin' talkin' love machine

Lord, I got the self assurance of a king on a throne

Cause she told me that she'd love me 'til the cows came home



The cows came home

The cows came home

I heard somethin' mooin'

Turned around and she was gone

Lord have mercy, the cows came home



The whole herd showed up when they heard she'd gone

But I guess it's better than bein' alone

Well the slammin' of the door is like a pie in the face

But I got enough milk for the human race

I didn't have to clue that there was anything wrong

'Cause she told me that she'd love me 'til the cows came home



The cows came home

The cows came home

I heard somethin' mooin'

Turned around and she was gone

Lord have mercy, the cows came home



I didn't see the writing on the wall

Missed the invitation to the bovine ball

I didn't hear no cowbells ringin'

Gonna have to face the music that the fat lady's singin'



The cows came home

The cows came home

I heard somethin' mooin'

Turned around and she was gone

Lord have mercy, the cows came home
