    • Verse 1
    (Hmm) 

    You see, 
    the 
    terrible 
    thing 
    about 

    being 
    in 
    love 
    with 
    a married 
    man 

    Is 
    the fact 
    that 
    you can't 
    see 
    him 

    when you 
    really 
    want 
    to 

    And that 
    can 
    get 
    to you, 
    sometimes 


    Verse 2
    Late 
    in 
    the midnight 
    hour 

    When 
    you really 
    feel 
    like 

    you need 
    a little 
    loving 

    The man 
    ain't 
    nowhere 
    around 

    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
    But 
    what 
    gets 
    to you 
    most 
    of 
    all 

    Is 
    when 
    the holidays 
    roll 
    around 

    You gotta 
    always 
    be 
    by 
    yourself 

    'Cause 
    that's the 
    time 
    when 

    the families 
    get 
    togeth
    er 

    All 
    the 
    in- 
    laws 
    come 
    to 
    visit 

    Verse 5
    So 
    he 
    has 
    to stay 
    home 
    and play 
    the 
    part 

    of the 
    good 
    and 
    faithful 
    husband 

    But 
    I ain't 
    worried 
    about 
    it 

    'Cause 
    I found 
    out that 
    when 
    a man 

    starts 
    tipping 
    away 
    from 
    home 

    Somebody 
    at home 
    has 
    fallen 
    down 

    Verse 6
    on 
    the home 
    front 


    That's 
    because 
    when 
    these 
    women 

    marry 
    these 
    men 

    They have 
    a 
    tendency 
    to 
    take 

    advantage 
    of 
    'em 

    They forget 
    about 
    all the 
    sweet 

    things 
    they 
    say 
    to get 
    'em 

    That 
    they have 
    to 
    keep 
    on 

    Verse 7
    saying 
    them 
    to keep 
    'em 

    'Cause 
    you got 
    a whole lot 
    of women 

    out there 
    these 
    days, 
    just 
    like me 

    Who 
    will tell 
    a 
    man 
    anything 
    in 
    the world 

    he 
    feel 
    like 
    he might 
    wanna 
    hear 

    I 
    know 

    'Cause 
    I'm 
    going 
    with 
    a married 
    man 

    Verse 8
    And 
    last 
    New 
    Year's 
    Eve, 

    I 
    was 
    lonesome 
    as 
    a micky- 
    ficky 

    But 
    J1, the 
    man 
    came 
    on in 

    like he 
    was 
    supposed 
    to 

    And I 
    did
    n't mind 
    waiting 

    that 
    one 
    day 

    'Cause 
    anything 
    worth having 

    is worth 
    waiting 
    on 

    Verse 9
    So 
    when 
    the man 
    came 
    in, 
    J1 

    I was 
    right 
    there 
    waiting 
    on 
    him to 
    tell 
    him 

    All 
    them 
    sweet 
    things 
    I know 
    his wife 

    haven't 
    told 
    him over 
    the holidays 

    And 
    you can think 
    of 
    a whole 
    lot of 
    good stuff 

    to tell 
    a nigga 
    when 
    you're 
    by 
    yourself 

    Verse 10

    So 
    the 
    minute 
    my 
    man 
    came 
    in the door, 

    J1 

    I started 
    laying 
    it on 
    him 

    I 
    said, 
    "Oo
    h, baby, 
    oo
    h, 
    baby" 

    "Oo
    h, 
    baby, 
    my 
    baby" 

    Verse 11
    You're 
    the sweetest 
    thing 
    I 
    know, 

    yes, 
    you 
    are 

    You 
    dim 
    the rainbow's 
    glow, 

    yes, 
    you do, 
    baby 

    There 
    ain't 
    no 
    power, 
    no 
    power, 

    no 
    power 
    on 
    this 
    Earth 

    To 
    ever, 
    oh, 
    oh, 
    Lord, 

    separate 
    us, baby 

    Verse 12
    'Cause 
    you 
    are 
    my 
    sunshine 

    My 
    only 
    little 
    sunshine 

    You 
    are 
    my 
    sunshine 

    My 
    sunshine 

    Verse 13
    And 
    I 
    love 
    you, baby 

    I can't 
    help 
    but 
    love 
    you, baby 

    I 
    love 
    you, 
    baby 

    I could
    n't 
    give up 
    if 

    I wanted 
    to 

    Verse 14

    You know, 
    I 
    don't 
    wanna 
    leave 
    you with 
    a one- 

    sided 
    conception 
    over 
    this 
    thing 

    Anyone 
    out 
    there in 
    my shoes 
    this 
    evening? 
    I 

    want 
    you to 
    know what 
    I'm talking 
    about 

    I 
    want 
    you to know 
    there's 
    two 

    sides 
    to this 
    thing 

    There's a 
    good 
    side 
    to 
    being 
    in love 

    with a 
    married 
    man 
    and 
    I 
    like 
    it 

    'Cause, 
    you 
    see, 
    Verse 15

    when you're 
    going 
    with 
    a married 
    man 

    He 
    can come 
    over 
    two 
    or three 
    times 

    a week 
    and 
    give 
    you a 
    little bit 

    That 
    means 
    you're two 
    up 

    on the 
    wife 
    already 

    'Cause 
    once 
    you 
    marry 
    one, 

    you don't 
    get it 
    but once 
    a week 

    Verse 16
    'Nother 
    sweet 
    thing 
    is 

    On 
    payday, 
    he can come 
    over and 
    give 

    you a little 
    bread 
    and 
    I like 
    that 

    But 
    the sweetest 
    thing 
    about 
    the 

    whole 
    situation 
    is 

    The fact 
    that 
    when 
    you 
    go to 

    the 
    Laundromat 

    You don't 
    have 
    to wash 
    nobody's 

    funky 
    drawers 
    but 
    your 
    own 

    And I like 
    it 
    like 
    that 

    Verse 17
    I wanna 
    keep 
    my 
    situation 

    just 
    the way 
    it 
    is 

    And 
    to make 
    sure 
    it stays 
    like 
    that 

    When 
    my 
    man 
    come 
    over 
    here two 
    or 
    three 

    times 
    a 
    week to 
    give me 
    my 
    piece 

    I 
    set 
    the clock 
    so 
    he 
    can get 
    up 
    and go 
    home 
    on 
    time, 

    don't 
    want 
    him to be 
    late 

    Sometimes, 

    it 
    be kind 
    of 
    hard 
    for 
    me 
    to do 

    Verse 18
    But 
    I force 
    myself 
    anyway, 
    I tell 
    him 

    "Listen 
    to 
    the clock 
    on 
    the wall," 
    hey, 

    hey 

    "Listen 
    to 
    the 
    clock 
    on 
    the 
    wall 
    right 
    now, 

    baby" 

    Tick 
    on, 
    clock 

    "Listen 
    to 
    the clock 
    on 
    the wall," 
    hey, 

    hey 

    "Oh, 
    forget 
    about 
    the clock 
    on 
    the wall"

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      "

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
