 Whenever  you find a man  that loves  every woman he sees,
 There's always  some kind of woman  that's a-puttin'  him up a tree.
 Now that kind of man, he ain't got  as much  sense as a mule.
 You know,  everyone don't love you, they're just a-playin' you for a fool
 Mmmm,  oh, no,
 It's not hard  for you to understand.
 True love  can be such a sweet  harmony
 If you do  the best that you can.
 
 If  you marry the wrong kind of woman and you get where you can't agree,
 Well, you just as well could get your hat and let  that woman be.
 But a man oughta make a good husband  and quit  tryin' to lead a fast life.
 Goin' about  dressin' up other women won't put  clothes on his own wife

 Well, there's lots  of good women who wants to marry, and they want  to live
 well at home.
 But they're 'fraid they'll might get hold of a rowdy man, can't let other
 women alone.
 And there's lots of good men wants to marry,  and they wants  to live well at
home.
 But every time  they turn their back, there's another man there
 askin', "Darlin',  is he gone?"
