Well, I'd be
doggone if I didn't work all day,
baby
I'd be doggone if I didn't bring home my pay,
baby
If I ever caught you running around,
throwing my money all over this town,
then I wouldn't
be doggone,
I'd be long gone No, I wouldn't be doggone,
I'd be long gone
I'd be doggone if you ain't
warm as a breath of spring,
baby
But if we lived to be 100
years old,
if you ever let that spring turn cold,
then I wouldn't
be doggone,
I'd be long gone No,
I wouldn't be doggone,
I'd be long gone
And you'll hear
what I say,
and please believe me
Well,
every woman should try to be whatever her man
wants her to be
And I don't want much,
all I want from you is for you to be true to me
I'd be doggone if love ain't a man's best friend,
baby And I'd be doggone if you ain't the loving hand,
baby
If I ever found out that you're no good,
then I wouldn't be doggone,
I'd be long gone
