I love the woman, an' learned a lesson that I can't forget
Yes, I love the woman, an' learned a lesson that I can't forget
Yes, she's mean an' she's evil and now my life is in a solid mess

Yeah...

She wakes me in the mornin'
Right before the break of day
Tellin' me to get up and go out
I had a earn myself some pay

How she scolds me like an orphan
And treats me like a clown
And when I need some lovin'
That woman can't be found

And I love the woman
And learned a lesson that I can't forget
Yes, she's mean an' she's evil
And now my life is in a solid mess!
