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
