I never pryed into the where's and the why's No matter what time she came in While I thought she was out playin' bridge with the girls She was out playin' games with the men. Too late I discovered she had too much slack Like a fool to a dream I'm still clinging I finally gave her enough rope to hang her And she's still out there swinging. --- Instrumental --- Now, here I sit with the why do I do's While she's running round wild and free I tried to give her a mind of her own But she couldn't keep it on me.

I finally gave her enough rope to hang her And she's still out there swinging...
