You know And every time there's a certain kind of woman Who's always going around trying to steal other women's husbands And sure enough there is one in this town Who thinks she's got my man Well listen girls This is from the real side He sees you one night a week And you think you beatin' my time The other six nights he's with me And we get along just fine So before you take him for granted Let's get one thing straight I'm his one and only wife And you're just a one night date He works hard each and every day Brings his paycheck home on time He may give you some spending change, but most of it is mine So girl, can't you see you're wrong I know you'll understand You're gambling on loving a married man While holding a losing hand So leave that married man alone Oh girl Go on and find one of your own, that's what you wanna do now You think that he's yours, yes you do By the pleasure that you're seeking But I've got papers on him Girl I'm gonna keep him We got our home, our driver's car And we're happy can't you tell? All you're looking forward to is one night in some motel I know when he takes you out, you're as happy as can be But he hurries to get it over with And rushes back home to me! (Cautiously!) I'm his wife and girl you're just a friend I'm his wife, you get off and get on and you a backstreet friend I'm his wife and girl you just can't win I'm his wife and a loser in the end, yeah yeah I'm his wife and girl you're just a friend I'm his wife and a loser in the end
