I Wish I Was a Single Girl Again

Sweet when I was single, simple solid life
Now I live in sorrow, 'cause I'm a poor man's wife
Oh, I wish I was a single girl again

Once I was so happy, when love was so new
My baby don't come home at night, I have it all to do
Oh, I wish I was a single girl again

Why, oh, why, did I ever say I do
Sit here alone like a fool
My baby doesn't need my lovin' any more
He took my love away from me and then threw it out the door

One of these mornings, tired of this strife
Throw away that golden ring and lead a single life
Oh, I wish I was a single girl again

Why, oh, why, did I ever say I do
Sit here alone like a fool
My baby doesn't need my lovin' any more
He took my love away from me and then threw it out the door

Sweet when I was single, simple solid life
Now I live in sorrow, 'cause I'm a poor man's wife
Oh, I wish I was a single girl again
Oh, I wish I was a single girl again
