Go On Back

You sit down and do your hair
Looking good but does he really care
Comes in late at night worn out because
He?s just not as strong as he always was
And all that effort you make
He don?t appreciate
But you?ll find somebody that does
You come up making eyes at me
But you don?t know my history
Looking for someone to hold you tight
Make you feel special just tonight
And I guess you think I can
Vibrations coming off your hands
Sometimes you get lonely I understand
I know we could have some fun
But darling I?m not the one
Go on back to your man
Go on back to your man
I know all the right words to say
But I?ll be gone before the dawn
Of another day
You come up making eyes at me
But you don?t know my history
Looking for someone to hold you tight
Make you feel special just tonight
And I guess you think I can
Vibrations coming off your hands
Sometimes you get lonely I understand
I know we could have some fun
But darling I?m not the one
Go on back to your man
Go on back to your man
