Keith Whitley - I Want My Rib Back lyrics

Now the bible tells the story about Adam's rib How the Lord made a woman for companionship And the first thing she did was take a bite of that forbidden fruit Well, I guess we'll be paying till the end of time At least that's how it is with that woman of mine Oh Lord, I think I want my rib back Now this is wrong and baby, that ain't right And I'm huggin' tryin' to please that woman day and night She's never satisfied although I try to do the best that I can Somethin's got a change honey, I'm gonna leave I won't let evolution gonna make a monkey out of me Oh Lord, I think I want my rib back There's been a hole in wallet and a pain in my side Ever since I made that girl my blushing bride Her daddy calls her angel and her momma calls her three times a night Her cousins on the sofa, her sister's got my car Her brother's drink my liquor like my house was a bar Oh Lord, well, I think I want my rib back Now this is wrong and, baby, that ain't right And I'm huggin' tryin' to please that woman day and night She's never satisfied although I try to do the best that I can Somethin's got a change honey, I'm gonna leave I won't let evolution gonna make a monkey out of me Oh Lord, I think I want my rib back Oh Lord, I think I want my rib back
