THERE'S GOTTA BE MORE TO LIFE
(Than Loving A Man)

Dirty socks and shorts and undershirts
Check his collars 'cause I know the rascal flirts
And the eggs just won't unstick from the fryin' pan
There's gotta be more to life than loving a man
Automatic washer just broke a cup
Some spook just called, and when I answered, he hung up
Mopin', waxin', sweepin', pots and pans
There's gotta be more to life than loving a man
Can't see through the windows, Lordy, it's a shame
This stringy hair is drivin' me insane
If you're a woman, you will understand
There's gotta be more to life than loving a man
Kitty cat left something on the rug
And that's just something else for me to scrub
With my crackin', red dish-water hands
There's gotta be more to life than loving a man
