He made a business for himself in '63
Proud to be somebody for his family
An offer came to buy him out
Recklessly he shelved his doubt
And sold up to regret it bitterly
And left us in the women's company
He left us in the women's company
Yes, we were raised by women mainly, rarely men
Weekends I remember mostly aunts and friends
He remained a silent ghost
Can't think what I missed the most
Sentimental stuff most probably
But I got used to women's company
I got used to women's company
And you are the one that I want
You are the one, you are the one that I want
And you are the one that I want
You are the one, you are the one that I want
And the women they would sing
And the house it would ring
With endless song
Like nothing had gone wrong
The jocks fill up these local bars
I pick my wife up in the car
We drive back to the house so quietly
I prefer it in women's company
I like it in the women's company
Yeah, you are the one that I want
You are the one, you are the one that I want
And you are the one that I want
You are the one, you are the one that I want
Let's go to the river, darling
Let's go to the river
Let's drive to the river
