(Hey Mister something you ought to know)
You're shaking my hand they're shaking your world to pieces
Don't you understand that the time and place were right
To you she's a wife but to me she's a lot of woman
And you're shaking the hand that held something of yours last night

There's not much to say and know easy way to say it
And last in a day three worlds are upside down
If the needs of a wife I neglected in life she'll go wrong to make things right
And you're shaking the hand that held something of yours last night
You're shaking my hand...
[ strings ]
You're shaking my hand...
Yes you're shaking the hand that held something of yours last night
