Lyrics

I tip my hat to the lady
Sweet comfort of the night
A body warm and willing
And two arms to hold me tight
But when she's in a mood to argue
I know I'm gonna lose
It takes a whole lot bigger man than me
To change her point of view


Well I guess I was mistaken
As unlikely as that sounds
Made a slight miscalculation
And I'll never figure out
Women - don't make no sense
Logic just can't win
The only thing I know that's right
I was wrong again


Spent my last hundred dollars
To put that diamond on her hand
What that woman does to me
I'll never understand
Speaking for myself
A fool would call it love
Sold my soul to the devil
And I thought that'd be enough

Lord I still love the lady
Though she's never understood
My rough and rowdy ways
But she always takes it good
Never holds it against me
`Cause she knows I'm just a man
So when she came to bail me out of jail
I thought she'd understand
