People, I was standing at my window
Tears running all down my cheeks
Yes, standing at my window
Tears running all down my cheeks
Well, I could see the woman I’m loving
Stopping everyone in the world she meets

Well, standing on the corner
Between 35th and Main
Well, standing on the corner, people
Between 35th and Main
Yeah, that’s where a blind man’s seen my woman
People, a dumb man called her name

He said, “Oh, I’m blind
You brought eyesight and made me see”
“Oh, I’m blind
You brought eyesight and made me see”
Yes, and the dumb man asked a question
“Woman, who may your good man be?”

Yes, I’m standing by trembling, people
People, my heart’s laying in my hand
I’m standing by trembling, darling
With my heart’s laying in my hand
Well, I could hear my baby say
“Lord, I ain’t got no man”

I’ve got a good mind to give up living, and go shopping instead
I say, I’ve got a good mind to give up living, and go shopping instead
To pick up me a tombstone, and be pronounced dead

When I read your letter this morning, that was in your place in bed
I read your letter this morning, that was in your place in bed
That’s when I decided, that I would be better off dead

It read, there is no use you looking, or ever hoping to get me back
Oh, there’s no use you looking, or ever hoping to get me back
Yes, because it’s all over now, and you can bet on that

There was Adam, happy as a man could be
Till Eve got him messin’ with that old apple tree

Ain’t that just like a woman?
Ain’t that just like a woman?
Ain’t that just like a woman?
They’ll do it every time

Lot took his wife down to the corner for a malted
She wouldn’t mind her business, boy, did she get salted

Ain’t that just like a woman?
Ain’t that just like a woman?
Ain’t that just like a woman?
They’ll do it every time
Samson thought Delilah was on the square
Till one night she clipped him all his hair

Ain’t that just like a woman?
Ain’t that just like a woman?
Ain’t that just like a woman?
They’ll do it every time

From our history books we all learned
Nero fiddled while Rome was burned

Ain’t that just like a woman?
Ain’t that just like a woman?
Ain’t that just like a woman?
They’ll do it every time

Marie Antoinette met some hungry cats at the gate
They was crying for bread, she said, “Let them eat cake”

Ain’t that just like a woman?
Ain’t that just like a woman?
Ain’t that just like a woman?
They’ll do it every time

You can buy a woman clothes
And give her money on the side
No matter what you do
She ain’t never satisfied
Ain’t that just like a woman?
Ain’t that just like a woman?
Ain’t that just like a woman?
They’ll do it every time
