Duet with Porter Wagoner

Last night you went out again with what you said was your best friend
You say you need some time away from me
The sun was high when you got in but not as high as you had been
And I wonder how you would act if I done just the way I pleased
I ve been married just as long as you have
And I get tired of the same old things just the same as you have
Well let me tell you this big boy when you go out for a night of joy
You better start taking me along or you ll be singing a different song
For I ve been married just as long as you have
While I m working hard all day you run around and spend my pay
You entertain your friends at my expence
But you cry and carry on when I do something on my own
And you accuse with lack of evidence
I ve been married just as long as you have
And I get tired of the same old things just the same as you have
So let me tell you this sweetheart I figure I ve done my part
So don t get cute and get so smart I ll tell you this before you start
I ve been married just as long as you have and that s a pretty good while
(Honey you re the cat I ve spent nine lives with)
I know you have you ain t spent no time at home
You re running around all over town you re here and there everywhere
(And if I could stand you long enough I might stay at home a little more)
You move so fast a umbrella d be in your way honey if it was raining
(Oh boy now ain t that cute if your heart was as big as your mouth
You d give everything we owned away) but I love you you little devil
So don t you ever take off and leave me now here by myself
I ll hit you right in the (I wouldn t I wouldn t trust you with yourself)
I ll hit you right in the mouth honey and it ll go (You will golly)
Ah but then you ll look you ve had the mumps when I get done kissing you
(Why don t you do it now I ain t had the mumps) I m a-gonna do it here it goes
golly
(I ll get you in line that s true)
Ho hoow woman you re killing me but I love every minute of it
