Lyrics
You gotta be a little more standoffish
When fellers offer you a buggy ride
I'll give a imitation of a crawfish
And dig myself a hole where I can hide
I heared how you been kickin' up some capers
When I was off in Kansas City, Mo
No!
I heared some things you couldn't print in papers
And from fellers who been talkin' like they know
Foot!
I only did the kind of things I orta, sorta
To you I was as faithful as can be, fer me
Them stories 'bout the way I lost my bloomers, rumors
A lot of tempest in a pot of tea
The whole thing don't sound very good to me
With me it's all or nothin'
Is it all or nothin' with you?
It cain't be "in between"
And it cain't be "now and then"
No half-and-half romance will do
I'm a one woman man, home lovin' type
All complete with slippers and pipe
Take me like I am or leave me be
If you cain't give me all, give me nothin'
And nothin's what you'll git from me
Not even somethin'?
Nothin's what you'll git from me
Would you build me a house, all painted white
Cute and clean and purty and bright?
Big enough for two but not for three
S'posin' that we should have a third one?
He better look a lot like me
The spittin' image
He's gotta look a lot like me
With you it's all or nothin'
All for you and nothin' for me
But if a wife is wise
She's gotta realize
That men like you are wild and free
So I ain't gonna fuss, ain't gonna frown
Have your fun, go out on the town
Stay up late and don't come home till three
And go right off to sleep if you're sleepy
No use waitin' up for me
Come back and kiss me
No use waitin' up fer me
