Modern Man Blues - 10cc

I’m tired Lord and I’m drawn

And I’m chilled right to the bone

I crawled home from my work

And this note said she was gone

Said your dinner’s in the cat

And your love is out the door

I’m goin' back to my momma

And I don’t want you no more, no more

She said she don’t want me no more

She’s gone back to her momma

Said she’s never never comin' back no more

Now a man can take so much

And only heaven knows his limit

But a naggin' b****in' woman

Digs a hole and puts him in it

A sophisticated man

Needs a little something on the side

So what you don’t get at home

You’ve gotta get outside, hey

She’s gone

I’m spending all of my money

She’s gone, gone, gone

And I can swing with my honey

She’s gone

I’m so glad my woman’s gone

Now time goes marching on

And it won’t wait for you

You’ve gotta take it when it’s offered

And get it when it’s due

Now a man can move much faster

Without a millstone around his neck

So if you get the chance to lose it

You’ve gotta drop it and run like heck, hey

She’s gone

I’m spending all of my money

She’s gone, gone, gone

And I can swing with my honey

She’s gone

I’m so glad my woman’s gone

She’s gone

I’m spending all of my money

She’s gone, gone, gone

And I can swing with my honey

She’s gone

I’m so glad my woman’s gone
