A friend of mine, he said to me a skinny girl is a misery
I shook my head because I knew he couldnt be right
But thats when I thought back to just last night
When I got home, it was maybe a little late.
There was ne're a crumb or ne're a plate
There was no martini, no glass of grape.
But it was there I sought to contemplate.
Some things, my baby dont tolerate
My baby dont tolerate
My baby dont tolerate from me.
I said hello honey, how have you been.
She said what could you possibly have been doin until half past then.
And not bein completely unsensitive
I could tell my ship had run a ground,
Cause when I puckered up you know she, puckered down.
Some things, my baby dont tolerate
My baby dont tolerate
My baby dont tolerate from me.
Now a small and more ordinary man might not appreciate
The guidance of a good woman who truly loves him.
He might drft in despair after the ingnorat dumb doins' of his dirty daily existance
Thats not me. No, Yessiree.
Im proof that true love will set you free.

Some things, my baby dont tolerate
