He brings me tulips
Jewels for my ears
Laughs at my sly wit and
Kisses my tears
Brazes my beauty
Calls me his own
Yet night after night
I sleep all alone
I sleep alone
Dream alone and I weep alone
I sleep alone
‘Cause his wife’s a chaperone
I sleep alone
Dream alone and I scheme alone
It’s really hard when your man’s not your own
He’s got a dear wife
She keeps his kids
She rules his home life
Cooks, cleans, and knits
I am his wild life
His love on loan
Never a housewife
I sleep alone
I sleep alone
Dream alone and I weep alone
I sleep alone
‘Cause his wife’s a chaperone
I sleep alone
Dream alone and I scheme alone
It’s really hard when your man’s not your own
It’s a rough life
It’s a cold life
When you’re on your own
And your only bed companion is a silent telephone
I choose my own way
Plan my own life
Always a lover I’m
Never a wife
No wedding veil
No brides, bouquets
No marriage vows
No dues to pay
I sleep alone
Dream alone and I weep alone
I sleep alone
’Cause his wife’s a chaperone
I sleep alone
Dream alone and I scheme alone
It’s really hard when your man’s not your own
