Lyric Modern man blues

10CC - Modern man blues

I m tired Lord and I m drawn
And I m chilled right to the bone
I crawled home from my work
And this note said she was gone
Said your dinner s in the cat
And your love is out the door
I m goin back to my momma
And I don t want you no more, no more
She said she don t want me no more
She s gone back to her momma
Said she s never never comin back no more

Now a man can take so much
And only heaven knows his limit
But a naggin bitchin woman
Digs a hole and puts him in it
A sophisticated man
Needs a little something on the side
So what you don t get at home
You ve gotta get outside, hey

She s gone
I m spending all of my money
She s gone, gone, gone
And I can swing with my honey
She s gone
I m so glad my woman s gone

Now time goes marching on
And it won t wait for you
You ve gotta take it when it s offered
And get it when it s due
Now a man can move much faster
Without a millstone around his neck
So if you get the chance to lose it
You ve gotta drop it and run like heck, hey

She s gone
I m spending all of my money
She s gone, gone, gone
And I can swing with my honey
She s gone
I m so glad my woman s gone

She s gone
I m spending all of my money
She s gone, gone, gone
And I can swing with my honey
She s gone
I m so glad my woman s gone
