Common Law Wife

Lyrics

Now girls I don't mean to sound defensive But my lady says she's tired of being looked down on She's tired of the whispers, the phonies, and you sympathisers And oh yeah, the catty girls with the gold bands on Now this is supposed to be the day of let it be Where all should be free But she says some of you girls are so jealous hearted That you just won't let her be But dig here Go on girls flaunt your synthetic securities My lady said that's the way it's gonna be She said if common law is good enough for her man Common law is the way it's gonna be She's my common law wife And she's proud of it She said if her man likes it Ya'll gonna love it She's my common law wife And I'm proud of it Her man likes it Don't ya know she loves it Now she used to feel guilt(?) and shame And my conscience often bothered me But we pleged(?) some security(?) on ewch others soul And it sure enough set us free Just because we live a common law life And we didn't walk down the aisle You think that make your written contract More valid and more worthwhile Go on girls flaunt your synthetic securities My lady said that's the way it's gonna be But if common law is good enough for my woman Common law is godd enough for me She's my common law wife And I'm proud of it Her man likes it Ya'll gonna love it She's my common law wife And she's proud of it She said if her man likes it Don't ya know she loves it Ooooohhh Ooohoooohh And I don't agree(?) but it's made from in our hearts And it's something that just don't need to be legalized Cause if a man wants to up and split Jailhouse(?) and marriage license won't keep him by your side Common law wife And I'm proud of it Her man likes it Ya'll oughta love it She's my common law wife And she's proud of it She said if her man likes it Don't ya know she loves it
