One Man Woman

Well it's plain as rain
And it's there for all the world to see
Just 'cause everybody does it
That doesn't make it right for me
Someone's making plans
Involvin' my old man
Everytime I turn by back around
I'm feelin' like a one man woman
Living in a two time town
Now in the place that I come from
The people don't grow on trees
(except some of the boys)
And you can't treat people like meat
Without getting brought to your knees
Now and then baby
The way I've been feeling
Since I hit this town
Like to jump in the river and drown
Feeling like a one man woman
Living in a two time town
Way I feel is like I'm living in a two time town
Sometimes I'd like
To get out on the floor
Shake it till dawn
Some young thing
Like to teach him the bump
Make me want to take him home
Well excuse me
I don't mean to preach you no lectures
Yeah but me and my man won't
Be able to stay for breakfast
Gotta go home now
I guess he's got the itch
And I'm just a bitch
Who's trying to bring him down
Feeling like a one man woman
Acting like a one man woman
I guess I'm just a one man woman
Who's living in a two time town
