She Wouldn’t Understand Lyrics by The Goodies

Nothing To Do With Us!

0

[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
