ray charles - what can you do with a man lyrics

[luce]
listen to your lady who speaks.
this affair has run its course.
i’ll reside in athens six weeks
while i get me a divorce.

[dromio]
listen to your lover who asks
why this battle has begun.

[luce]
he has long neglected some tasks
that a husband should have done.
he eats me out of house and home
but doesn’t like my cooking.
that’s nothing new with a man.
what can you do with a man?
he likes to use my brush and comb
and yet he’s funny-looking.
home’s like a zoo with a man.
what can you do with a man?
some men wear half pajamas.
i took a chance.
i bought the guy pajamas-
he wears the pants.
by day he’s like a five-year-old;
at night he’s ninety-seven.
what can you do with a man like that?

[dromio]
when you get mad, don’t count to ten,
go on and count a million.
don’t be a shrew with a man.
that’s what you do with a man.
you need a regiment of men-
i’m only one civilian.
wait for your cue with a man.
that’s what you do with a man.
marriage is such a blessing,
so i have found.
i’ve got a thousand blessings,
each weighs a pound.
i’m only four foot ten right now,
i once was five foot seven.
that’s what you did to a man like that!

[luce]
i wear my nicest negligee
and find him reading plato.
nothing is new with a man.
what can you do with a man?
i shook the tree of life one day
and got a cold potato.
i’m in a stew with a man.
what can you do with a man?
where is his sense of duty,
where is his taste?
acres and acres of beauty
going to waste!
he walks me in the woods at night
to find a four-leaf clover.
what can you do with a man like that?
