[Verse 1]
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'd done just the way I please
[Chorus]
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 takin' me along
Or you'll be singin' a different song
For I've been married just as long as you have
[Verse 2]
While I'm workin' hard all day
You run around and spend my pay
You entertain your friends at my expense
But you cry and carry on
When I do something on my own
And you accuse with lack of evidence
[Chorus]
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'd 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
[Outro]
That's a pretty good while
Honey, you're the cat I've spent nine lives with
I know you had, you ain't spent no time at home
You're running around all over town
You're here there and everywhere
Well if I could stand you long enough
I might stay at home a little more
You'd move so fast an umbrella bend 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 now leave me here to 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 with my mouth honey and it'll go (kissing sound)
You will? Golly
On a day, you'll look like you'd had the mumps
By the time I'm done with you
Why don't you do it now
I ain't had the...
Here I go...*kissing sounds*
Golly
I'll get you in my next brew, ah ha ha
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'd done just the way I please
[Chorus]
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 takin' me along
Or you'll be singin' a different song
For I've been married just as long as you have
[Verse 2]
While I'm workin' hard all day
You run around and spend my pay

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'd done my part

I'll tell you this before you start
I've been married just as long as you have
