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."
