single girl

Singer:manhattan transfer, the

when i was single

the life i led was mine

thought that when i married

i'd be happy all the time

lord i wish i was

a single girl again

lord i wish i was

a single girl again

when i was a single girl

the boys all courted me

i would move from man to man

just like a honeybee

single girls are free to roam

wherever love is found

now that i am married lord

you know i can't get to town

no no

lord i wish i was

a single girl again

lord i wish i was

a single girl again

first he said he loved me

and now he treats me like a slave

the burden of this married life

i carry to my grave

lord i wish i was

a single girl again

lord i wish i was

a single girl again
