Man of the House

Well I ain't proud of what I'm about to do All alone up here with you With the picture of your man Face down upon the night stand, so he can't see And I don't like running all the red lights here Every time the coast is clear Any time you need my lovin' You know I'll come running, faithfully (Chorus) Cause he stays so busy with his money And you, you get so lonely when he's gone And me, I'm just your temporary lover 'Til your blues are gone I'm the man of the house whenever he ain't home Now the statues on the side of that big gate They're laughing as I drive away And I can't keep from thinking Are they laughing at your old man or at me And the only part that I don't like to play Is the part when I get up and go away I find it mighty hard Just keeping this old heart tucked away Cause he stays... (Repeat Chorus) I'm the man of the house When your other man ain't home
