Ray Charles - What Can You Do With A Man lyrics

[Verse] Listen to your lady who speaks This affair has run its course I'll reside in Athens six weeks While I get me a divorce Listen to your lover who asks Why this battle has begun He has long neglected some tasks That a husband should have done He eats me out of house and home But doesn't like my cooking That's nothing new with a man What can you do with a man? He likes to use my brush and comb And yet he's funny-looking Home's like a zoo with a man What can you do with a man? Some men wear half pyjamas I took a chance I bought the guy pyjamas He wears the pants By day he's like a five-year-old; At night he's ninety-seven What can you do with a man like that? When you get mad, don't count to ten Go on and count a million Don't be a shrew with a man That's what you do with a man You need a regiment of men- I'm only one civilian Wait for your cue with a man That's what you do with a man Marriage is such a blessing So I have found I've got a thousand blessings Each weighs a pound I'm only four foot ten right now I once was five foot seven That's what you did to a man like that! I wear my nicest negligee And find him reading Plato Nothing is new with a man What can you do with a man? I shook the tree of life one day And got a cold potato I'm in a stew with a man What can you do with a man? Where is his sense of duty Where is his taste? Acres and acres of beauty Going to waste! He walks me in the woods at night To find a four-leaf clover What can you do with a man like that?
