Now the bible tells the story about Adam's rib
How the Lord made a woman for companionship
And the first thing she did
Was take a bite of that forbidden fruit
Well, I guess we'll be paying ‘til the end of time
At least that's how it is with that woman of mine
Ohh, Lord I think I want my rib back
(|)(Chorus)(|)
Now this is wrong and baby that ain't right
And I'm workin' trying to please that woman day and night
She's never satisfied although I try to do the best that I can
This is got to change or honey I'm gonna leave
I won't let evolution gonna make a monkey out of me
Ohh, Lord I think I want my rib back
There's been a hole in wallet and a pain in my side
Ever since I made that girl my blushin' bride
Her daddy calls her angel
And her mama calls her three times a night
Her cousins on my sofa, her sister's got my car
Her brother's drink my liquor like my house was a bar
Ohh, Lord well I think I want my rib back
(|)(Repeat Chorus)(|)
Ohh, Lord I think I want my rib back
