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   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 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   No, the man of the house ain't never home
