Eating out of your hand, you think you've hot me on a string You've fooled me more than once, but let me tell you just one thing Someday I'll leave you woman, then you'll understand A man can only take so much of eating out of your hand I'm tired of eating out of your hand, I'm tired of getting told These blues are leaving me as of now, I'll be the one son bold You better walk the chalk line and let this poor man be Or else you'll find yourself alone footloose and fancy free REF When I come home you're waiting to question what I've done You have my free time planned for me I work from sun to sun If only you would realize that old stuff gets old A man likes just a little time that he can call his own REF You're oh so domineering, your wish is my command Your jealous heart won't let me live you boss me and demand New clothes, a diamond ring so fine, a Cadillac is grand On payday I'm your victim and I'm eating out of your hand REF
