Single Girl

When I was single
the life I led was mine
Thought that when I married
I'd be happy al the time
Lord I wish I was
A single girl again
Lord I wish I was
A single girl again
When I was a single girl
The boys all courted me
I would move from man to man
Just like a honeybee
Single girls are free to roam
Wherever love is found
Now that I am married Lord
You know I can't get to town - no no
Lord I wish I was
A single girl again
Lord I wish I was
A single girl again
First he said he loved me
And now he treats me like a slave
The burden of this married life
I carry to my grave
Lord I wish I was
A single girl again
Lord I wish I was
A single girl again
