I'm His Wife (You're Just a Friend)

You know
And every time there's a certain kind of woman
Who's always going around trying to steal other women's husbands
And sure enough there is one in this town
Who thinks she's got my man
Well listen girls
This is from the real side

He sees you one night a week
And you think you beatin' my time
The other six nights he's with me
And we get along just fine
So before you take him for granted
Let's get one thing straight
I'm his one and only wife
And you're just a one night date

He works hard each and every day
Brings his paycheck home on time
He may give you some spending change, but most of it is mine
So girl, can't you see you're wrong
I know you'll understand
You're gambling on loving a married man
While holding a losing hand

So leave that married man alone
Oh girl
Go on and find one of your own, that's what you wanna do now
You think that he's yours, yes you do
By the pleasure that you're seeking
But I've got papers on him
Girl I'm gonna keep him

We got our home, our driver's car
And we're happy can't you tell?
All you're looking forward to is one night in some motel
I know when he takes you out, you're as happy as can be
But he hurries to get it over with
And rushes back home to me! (Cautiously!)

I'm his wife and girl you're just a friend
I'm his wife, you get off and get on and you a backstreet friend
I'm his wife and girl you just can't win
I'm his wife and a loser in the end, yeah yeah
I'm his wife and girl you're just a friend
I'm his wife and a loser in the end
