When a man gets down, he goes out on the town
And he won't come home until the whole damned night is over
And when that man's out on the town, he starts looking around
For a pretty face with a sympathetic shoulder,
But he won't talk to me
He won't talk to me
He won't say nothin' that might get him in trouble.
He won't talk to me
He won't talk to me
He'd rather sink his lips right back into the bottle.
When that man comes home as the sun doth rise,
She cries it out until her tired eyes are swollen
And when that man lay's down, in the bed she made
He hides his face deep under the covers
But he won't hold me
It's not where he wants to be
Yet she says she loves him over and over
He won't hold me
It's not where he's meant to be
He can try but in his heart he knows it over
She sits and cries it out, but she don't call no one
She don't want the girls to know all of their business
'Cause they fall apart every month or two
Ad it's all good until the storm clouds shadow over
I wanna wake him up
I wanna shake him down
Show him we can get to the place back where we started
But he's gotta talk to me
