Lyrics: I've Been Married

(Dolly Parton - Porter Wagoner)

Last night you went out again with what you said was your best friend
You say you need some time away from me
The sun was high when you got in but not as high as you had been
And I wonder how you would act if I done just the way I pleased.

I've been married just as long as you have
And I get tired of the same old things just the same as you have
Well, let me tell you this big boy when you go out for a night of joy
You better start taking me along or you'll be singing a different song
For I've been married just as long as you have.

While I'm working hard all day you run around and spend my pay
You entertain your friends at my expence
But you cry and carry on when I do something on my own
And you accuse with lack of evidence.

I've been married just as long as you have
And I get tired of the same old things just the same as you have
So let me tell you this sweetheart I figure I've done my part
So don't get cute and get so smart I'll tell you this before you start
I've been married just as long as you have...
