I
You've gotta work real hard,
To be a solo man,
You've gotta hang
Shit on married men.

You've gotta go to bars,
And smoke in bands,
You've gotta think
That you're happy.

II
You've gotta work real hard,
To be a married man,
You've gotta say
"Love is no illusion."

You've gotta tell yourself,
"No grass is greener."
You've got a wife, got a life
They're in collusion

IV
You gotta work real hard,
To be a faithful man,
You gotta lie
For one extra person.

You've gotta make your bed,
And sleep in it,
You sort of wish
That you were solo.
