Verse 1
Em 
(Hmm)
You see, the terrible thing about
C 
being in love with a married man
Is the fact that you can't see him
Em 
when you really want to
And that can get to you, sometimes
C 

Verse 2
Em 
Late in the midnight hour
C 
When you really feel like
you need a little loving
The man ain't nowhere around
Em 
And that can get to you, sometimes

Verse 3

Early in the morning

When you really feel like you

need someone to hold onto

The man ain't nowhere around

And that can really get to you, sometimes

Verse 4
Em 
But what gets to you most of all
C 
Is when the holidays roll around
Em 
You gotta always be by yourself
'Cause that's the time when
C 
the families get together
Em 
All the in- laws come to visit

Verse 5
C 
So he has to stay home and play the part
of the good and faithful husband
Em 
C 
But I ain't worried about it
'Cause I found out that when a man
Em 
starts tipping away from home
C 
Somebody at home has fallen down

Verse 6
on the home front
Em 
That's because when these women
C 
marry these men
They have a tendency to take
Em 
advantage of 'em
They forget about all the sweet
things they say to get 'em
C 
That they have to keep on

Verse 7
saying them to keep 'em
Em 
'Cause you got a whole lot of women
out there these days, just like me
C 
Who will tell a man anything in the world
Em 
he feel like he might wanna hear
C 
I know
Em 
'Cause I'm going with a married man

Verse 8
C 
And last New Year's Eve,
Em 
I was lonesome as a micky- ficky
But J1, the man came on in
C 
like he was supposed to
Em 
And I did n't mind waiting
that one day
C 
'Cause anything worth having
is worth waiting on

Verse 9
Em 
So when the man came in, J1
I was right there waiting on him to tell him
C 
All them sweet things I know his wife
haven't told him over the holidays
Em 
And you can think of a whole lot of good stuff
to tell a nigga when you're by yourself
C 

Verse 10
Em 
So the minute my man came in the door,
J1
C 
I started laying it on him
Em 
C 
I said, "Ooh, baby, ooh, baby"
Em 
C 
"Ooh,  baby, my baby"

Verse 11
Em 
You're the sweetest thing I know,
C 
yes, you are
Em 
You dim the rainbow's glow,
C 
yes, you do, baby
Em 
There ain't no power, no power,
C 
no power on this Earth
Em 
To ever, oh, oh, Lord,
C 
separate us, baby

Verse 12

'Cause you are my sunshine

My only little sunshine

You are my sunshine

My sunshine

Verse 13
C 
Em 
And I  love you, baby
C 
I can't help but love you, baby
Em 
I love you, baby
C 
I couldn't give up if
I wanted to
Em 

Verse 14
C 
You know, I don't wanna leave you with a one-
Em 
sided conception over this thing
Anyone out there in my shoes this evening? I
C 
want you to know what I'm talking about
Em 
I want you to know there's two
C 
sides to this thing
There's a good side to being in love
Em 
C 
with a married man and I like it
Em 
'Cause, you see,

Verse 15
C 
when you're going with a married man
He can come over two or three times
Em 
a week and give you a little bit
C 
That means you're two up
on the wife already
'Cause once you marry one,
Em 
you don't get it but once a week

Verse 16
C 
'Nother sweet thing is
Em 
On payday, he can come over and give
C 
you a little bread and I like that
Em 
But the sweetest thing about the
C 
whole situation is
The fact that when you go to
Em 
the Laundromat
You don't have to wash nobody's
C 
funky drawers but your own
Em 
And I like it  like that

Verse 17
C 
I wanna keep my situation
Em 
just the way it is
And to make sure it stays like that
C 
When my man come over here two or three
times a week to give me my piece
Em 
C 
I set the clock so he can get up and go home on time,
Em 
don't want him to be late
Sometimes,
C 
it be kind of hard for me to do

Verse 18
But I force myself anyway, I tell him
Em 
"Listen to the clock on the wall," hey,
C 
hey
Em 
"Listen to the clock on the wall right now,
C 
baby"
C 
Tick on, clock
Em 
"Listen to the clock on the wall," hey,
C 
hey
Em 
"Oh, forget about the clock on the wall"
