Lyric Tattler

(Ry Cooder/Russ Titelman/Washington Phillips)

Whenever you find a man that loves every woman he sees,
There s always some kind of woman that s a-puttin him up a tree.
Now that kind of man, he ain t got as much sense as a mule.
You know, everyone don t love you, they re just a-playin you for a fool

Mmmm, oh, no,
It s not hard for you to understand.
True love can be such a sweet harmony
If you do the best that you can.

If you marry the wrong kind of woman and you get where you can t agree,
Well, you just as well could get your hat and let that woman be.
But a man oughta make a good husband and quit tryin to lead a fast life.
Goin about dressin up other women won t put clothes on his own wife

Well, there s lots of good women who wants to marry, and they want to live well at home.
But they re fraid they ll might get hold of a rowdy man, can t let other women alone.
And there s lots of good men wants to marry, and they wants to live well at home.
But every time they turn their back, there s another man there askin , "Darlin , is he gone?"
