I've Been Married Just As Long As You Have Composer(s): Dolly Parton; Porter Wagoner Performer(s): Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton
Dolly: Last night you went out again With what you said was your best friend You say you need some time away from me The sun was high when you got in But not as high as you had been And I wonder how you would act If I done just the way I pleased
I've been married just as long as you have And I get tired of the same old things Just the same as you have Well let me tell you this, big boy
When you go out for a night of joy You better start taking me along Or you'll be singing a different song For I've been married just as long as you have
Porter: While I'm working hard all day you run around and spend my pay You entertain your friends at my expence But you cry and carry on When I do something on my own And you accuse with lack of evidence
I've been married just as long as you have And I get tired of the same old things Just the same as you have So let me tell you this, sweetheart I figure I've done my part So don't get cute and get so smart I'll tell you this before you start I've been married just as long as you have
Dolly: And that's a pretty good while
Porter: Honey, you're the cat I've spent nine lives with
Dolly: I know you have, you ain't spent no time at home You're running around all over town You're here and there everywhere
Porter And if I could stand you long enough I might stay at home a little more
Dolly: You move so fast a umbrella'd be in your way, honey If it was raining
Porter: Oh boy, now ain't that cute If your heart was as big as your mouth You'd give everything we owned away
Dolly: But I love you, you little devil So don't you ever take off and leave me now here by myself I'll hit you right in the
Porter: I wouldn't, I wouldn't trust you with yourself
Dolly: I'll hit you right in the mouth, honey, and it'll go
Porter: You will, golly!
Dolly: Ah, but then you'll look like you've had the mumps When I get done kissing you
Porter: Why don't you do it now, I ain't had the mumps
Dolly: I'm a-gonna do it, here it goes, golly I'll get you in line, that's true
Porter: Ho-hoo, woman you're killing me, but I love every minute of it
