She Wouldn’t Understand

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You know, it's a beautiful thing when a woman trusts a man Like my wife trusts me We've been married, oh, going on ten years now And she has always said to me She don't want me to have no secrets from her She says whatever I do, whatever I am, she would rather know But you know, I know she don't mean that 'Cause she's a very jealous woman And there are some things I could tell her That would surely break her heart And lately, wеll I, I think maybe I've been doing some of thosе things And you know, I can't tell her, but I got to tell someone [Pre-Chorus 1] I got a thing going on with my secretary I got a thing going on with the secretary in the office next door I got yet another thing With the lady who comes in to clean on Wednesday And the most amazing thing of all With the lady who comes in to clean on Wednesday's mother in law I got a slightly embarrassing thing going on With the conductors on the bus to work each morning And one hell of a thing with a class of schoolgirls On the way back at night Well, sometimes I wanna tell my wife I got this little secret But somehow, somehow I guess I know she simply wouldn't buy it [Chorus 1] Why, she wouldn't understand (No, no, no, no) No, she wouldn't understand (No, no, no, no) I know she wouldn't understand (No, no, no, no) A man will be a man (Whoa-ooh) [Verse 2] Oh, if only I could make her understand, if only I could say: "Darling, I know I fool around a little, but But that doesn't mean I don't love you Sure I love you! It's just that, well I love everybody else too I love your sister, I love your best friend, ooh I love her sister And I don't feel entirely platonic about her husband Damn, when things get bad I, I even love my dog Not to mention the hamster Gee, gee if only I could make you realize it It don't mean I love you less, just less off you You see, darling, after ten years of marriage I suddenly realized That I have an irresistible tendency to screw everything in sight" [Pre-Chorus 2] Oh, when I got away from home on business I like to have me a few friends up to my hotel room (My hotel room) Just a couple of barmaids, three Chinese air hostesses And a lady wrestler (Wrestler) A sheep, a girl with one leg, and a great big racoon (Great big racoon) We all cover ourselves with raspberry yogurt And we lick it off one another We change partners, change clothes, and have the time of our life (Time of our life) Well, maybe I'm being kind of unfair to her But somehow I just can't bring myself to invite my wife [Chorus 2] Woah, she wouldn't understand (No, no, no, no) I know she wouldn't understand (No, no, no, no) No, she wouldn't understand (No, no, no, no) A man must be a man Well, that's all I am, that's all I am She wouldn't understand (No, no, no, no) Well you know that's right, she wouldn't understand (No, no, no, no) No, no she wouldn't understand (No, no, no, no) A man must be a man Aah, she wouldn't understand (No, no, no, no) Woah, she wouldn't understand (No, no, no, no) No, she wouldn't understand (No, no, no, no) A man must be a man
