Won't you tell me if you can what's the matter with a man

When he starts a stayin' out all night

He's been a steppin' outta line and a messin' off my mind

And don't you know that that ain't right

Cause ever since I was a little bitty teeny girl

He thought he was the only man in this whole world

But now he bettter do some thinkin' and then he'll find

He's got the only mama that'll walk the line



While I'm workin' every day all he wants do is play

And I'm gettin' tired of bein' here alone

And I'm a comin' unglued from his funny little moods

When he finally come a dragging home

Cause ever since I was a little bitty teeny girl...

[ guitar ]

I keep a packin' up my clothes but everybody knows

That I'm really just a puttin' him on

Now when I start a walkin' after when you'll hear him squawkin'

And a beggin' me to come back home

Cause ever since I was a little bitty teeny girl...

He's got the only mama that'll walk the line
