If I work hard everyday, from 9 till 5
Just so you and the children can survive
Darlin’ the least you can do
Is show me the courtesy to
Clean the house, cook a meal
Thats all I ask of you
You lie in bed, talkin’ on the phone
Watching soap operas on TV all day long
When I urge “Darlin please, tell me what's wrong?”
“Go on fool!”
Thats what you say to me, “Leave me alone!”
Go on fool
(Go on fool)
Go on fool
(Go on, go on, go on)
Leave me alone
Go on fool
(Go on fool)
Go on fool
(Go on, go on, go on)
Oh honey, I’m long gone
You had children out of wedlock the day we met
I married you, took you home, despite of all of that
I adopted the children, and loved them as my own
Now they reject me, you don’t respect me
What did I do wrong?
Come Friday, Saturday and Sunday
You’re gone
I have to shop, cook and clean
All alone
Come Monday, you’re home
Brazen sound, singing that same old song
“Go on fool, can’t you see I’m sick? Leave me alone!”
Go on fool
(Go on fool)
Go on fool
(Go on, go on, go on)
Leave me alone
Go on fool
(Go on fool)
Go on fool
(Go on, go on, go on)
Leave me alone
Go on fool
(Go on fool)
Go on fool
(Go on, go on, go on)
Oh honey this fool is long gone!
