Well there used to be a time when a man was a king To work for a man was a woman's only dream Everything he did was perfectly alright He didn't have to worry about fussin' and fightin' It don't happen no more That was a long time ago It's a pitiful shame How the world has changed There used to be a time when a woman couldn't smoke There used to be a time when a woman couldn't vote She used to stay at home while the man went out to play She was satisfied with life any old way It don't happen no more That was a long time ago It's a pitiful shame How the world has changed Well, well
There used to be a time when a woman couldn't cook There used to be a time she didn't worry about her looks She used to sip on sa**afra**, she didn't even drink She didn't try to tell her man how to think It don't happen no more That was a long time ago It's a pitiful shame How the world has changed Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah It don't happen no more That was a long time ago It's a pitiful shame How the world has changed It don't happen no more That was a long time ago It's a pitiful shame How the world has changed From the album "true love" Written by: obie d. jessie
