Well, I've needed the love of four women in my life
Well, I've needed the love of four women in my life
Well, my mother and my sister, sweetheart and my
wife

If you don't want me baby, please don't dog me
around

Well, just like you found me, you can put me down

Well now, goodbye, baby, if you crawl back home
Well now, goodbye, baby, if you crawl back home
You can go away, swear you won't stay long
