I Was Married |
| I was married |
| But, it just didn’t work out right |
| I was married |
| Let me tell you 'bout my life |
| You know, six years is such a long time |
| To call somebody «Mine» |
| Hey, payback, I’m not indiscrete |
| And every guy or gal that I meet |
| They ask me the same question |
| And I tell them everytime |
| That I was married |
| People, I guess I’m happy 'cause I’m free |
| I was married |
| I don’t bother her and she don’t bother me |
| Sometimes I wanna, wanna go back |
| And pick up where we left off at |
| But I stop dead in my tracks, because |
| You have your thoughts too |
| I did all I could do |
| And it would only be the same thing |
| All over again |
| And I tell them everytime |
| That I was married |
| But, it just didn’t work, it didn’t work |
| It didn’t work out right |
| I was married |
| Please listen to my life |
| And people keep asking me |
| The same old thing |
| And I tell that I, I, I, I, I |
| Oh, I can testify, I did it twice |
| I was married |
| But it just didn’t work, didn’t work out right |
| I was married |
| Please listen to my life |
| And people keep asking me |
| The same old thing and I tell them that |
| I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I did it twice |
| I was married but it just didn’t work |
| Just didn’t work, it just didn’t work |
| I was married |
| It didn’t work, it did not work |
| It did not work, but I was married |
| It didn’t work, it didn’t work |
| People keep asking me because it didn’t work |
| I was married |
| It did not work |
| Some of you been married, a lot of you been married |
| But I was married |
| A lot of you can talk about it, I can talk about it |
| I can testify, testify |
| It didn’t work, it didn’t work, it didn’t work |
| I was married |
| It did not work, it did not work, did not work |
| But Billy Paul was married |
| Can testify, testify, to be true, to be true |
| Billy Paul was married |
| People keep asking me |
| It didn’t work |
| Don’t ask me |
| It didn’t work |
| Don’t ask me |
| It did not ask |
| Don’t ask me |
| Tried to pick up where we left off at |
| It would only be the same thing all over again |
| Let me tell you 'bout my life, I’ll tell you about my life |
| I was married |
| I didn’t wanna call somebody «Mine», call somebody «Mine» |
| I guess I was married |
| Because I’m free, free |
| I don’t bother her, she don’t bother me |
| Both of us are free, free |
