I’ve Been Married (Just as Long as You Have) Songtext
von Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton

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′d done, just the way I please

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 takin′ me along
Or, you'll be singin', a different song
For I′ve been married, just as long as you have


While I′m workin' hard all day
You run around and spend my pay
You entertain your friends, at my expense
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'd done my part
So, don′t get cute and get so smart
I'll tell you this, before I start
I′ve been married, just as long as you have

That's pretty good awhile
Honey, you're the cat, I′ve spent nine lives with
I know you had, you ain′t spent no time at home
You're running around, all over town
You′re here, there, and everywhere
Well, if I could stand you, long enough
I might stay at home, a little more
You'd move so fast
An umbrella bend your way honey, if it was raining


Oh boy! Now, ain′t that cute
If your heart, was as big as your mouth
You'd give everything we owned, away
But I love you, you little devil
So, don′t you ever take off now, leave me here to myself
I'll hit you, right in the mouth

I wouldn't, I wouldn′t trust you, with yourself
I′ll hit you right in the mouth, with my mouth honey
And it'll go (kissing sound)
You will? Golly!
On a day, you′ll look like you'd had the mumps
By the time I′m done with you
Why don't you do it now
I′m gonna do it, here It goes, (kissing sounds)
Golly! I'll get you in your neck too, ha-ha

Ho1Ho!
Know when your killin' me
But I love every minute of it
You and me
