This has kind of an old time blues feel, deals with the age old male/female issue and at the same time it makes people laugh (one of my great pleasures in life!) Someone like Bonnie Raitt could have fun with this! - N.
Vs. 1
I got up this morning
With tears in my eyes
‘Cause you were out all night
And you didn’t say why
When I asked if you’d been cheatin’
Or if you’d stayed true
You turned your back on me
And (then) you withdrew
Chorus:
Women need a reason
Men just need a place
There’s a dozen other women
That you want to embrace
Ain’t gonna break my heart,
On a man like you
I’d better pull my head together
And find me someone new
Vs.2
My girl friends all called said
They’d heard rumors on the street
Wondered how I was doin’
And tried to sound upbeat
They said don’t you fret
‘Cause he’s just a man
And you know they all run around
And don’t give a damn
Chorus:
Vs. 3
It’s a question for the ages
One we’ll never understand
Seems it’s just the difference
‘tween a woman and a man
She’ll save herself for him
In every situation
Yet he’ll spread himself around
At the slightest invitation
Chorus:
