I Want My Rib Back

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 till the end of time

At least that's how it is with that woman of mine

Oh Lord, I think I want my rib back

Now this is wrong and baby, that ain't right

And I'm huggin' tryin' to please that woman day and night

She's never satisfied although I try to do the best that I can

Somethin's got a change honey, I'm gonna leave

I won't let evolution gonna make a monkey out of me

Oh 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 blushing bride

Her daddy calls her angel and her momma calls her three times a night

Her cousins on the sofa, her sister's got my car

Her brother's drink my liquor like my house was a bar

Oh Lord, well, I think I want my rib back

Now this is wrong and, baby, that ain't right

And I'm huggin' tryin' to please that woman day and night

She's never satisfied although I try to do the best that I can

Somethin's got a change honey, I'm gonna leave

I won't let evolution gonna make a monkey out of me

Oh Lord, I think I want my rib back

Oh Lord, I think I want my rib back
