In My Wildest Dreams

Now the bible tells the story about Adam's rib.
How the Lord made a woman for companionship.
And the first thing she did ,
Was take a bite of that forbidden fruit.
Well, I guess we'll be paying till the end of time,
At least that's how it is with that woman of mine.
Oh Lord, I think I want my rib back.

Now this is wrong and, baby, that ain't right.
And I'm huggin' tryin' to please that woman day and night.
She's never satisfied although I try to do the best that I can.
Somethin's got a change honey, I'm gonna leave.
I won't let evolution gonna make a monkey out of me,
Oh Lord, I think I want my rib back.

There's been a hole in wallet and a pain in my side,
Ever since I made that girl my blushing bride.
Her daddy calls her angel,
And her momma calls her three times a night.
Her cousins on the sofa, her sister's got my car,
Her brother's drink my liquor like my house was a bar,
Oh Lord, well, I think I want my rib back.

Now this is wrong and, baby, that ain't right.
And I'm huggin' tryin' to please that woman day and night.
She's never satisfied although I try to do the best that I can.
Somethin's got a change honey, I'm gonna leave.
I won't let evolution gonna make a monkey out of me,
Oh Lord, I think I want my rib back.

Oh Lord, I think I want my rib back.

She'll call me honey, when she needs a helpin' hand,
She might say darlin' if she needs someone who understands.
She'll call me sugar, if she's feelin' kind of sweet,
She'll say that I'm crazy over my little jealousy.

But when she calls me baby, I just reach for the light,
And I'll hold her like a lady, thank God she's all mine.
With her arms around me, I can't leave the world behind.
When she calls me baby, well, I know what's on her mind.

When this life has brought me to my knees,
She's got a way of bring out the man in me.

When she calls me baby, I just reach for the light,
And I'll hold her like a lady, thank God she's all mine.
With her arms around me, I can't leave the world behind.
When she calls me baby, well, I know what's on her mind.

Oh, when she calls me baby, well, I know what's on her mind.

Somebody's callin'; callin' my little darlin' "darlin'" tonight.
This time, oh Lord, it aint me.
Instead of sittin' here a'bawlin', bawlin',
I ought to be a crawlin' back to make things right.
Somebody's callin' my little darlin' "darlin'" tonight.

Well the clock on the wall says its midinght,
And my baby still aint home; where, oh, where can she be?
Well, I got a sneakin suspicion, she aint all alone.
What is this sound I hear a hauntin' me?

Somebody's callin'; callin' my little darlin' "darlin'" tonight.
This time, oh Lord, it aint me.
Instead of sittin' here a'bawlin', bawlin',
I ought to be a crawlin' back to make things right.
Somebody's callin' my little darlin' "darlin'" tonight.

Well she used to always be there whenever I would call,
Waitin for me patiently.
Now my fingers are calloused over from dialin' this old phone.
I guess she's over getting over me.

Somebody's callin'; callin' my little darlin' "darlin'" tonight.
This time, oh Lord, it aint me.
Instead of sittin' here a'bawlin', bawlin',
I ought to be a crawlin' back to make things right.
Somebody's callin' my little darlin' "darlin'" tonight.

Instead of sittin' here a'bawlin', bawlin',
I ought to be a crawlin' back to make things right.
Somebody's callin' my little darlin' "darlin'" tonight.

I was lost in the wild side of life,
I was blinded by smoke and neon lights.
I was drinkin' and sinkin' without a prayer.
Then she showed up right out of thin air.

She took me to heaven, oh my Lord, what a ride!
And I've never been higher, on her love I could fly.
I was hellbound, on my way down, then I found what I need:
Oh, an angel loved the devil out of me.

I thank God for her love each day.
He saved me when he sent her my way.
Now each night, I drive by those neon lights,
And go home to my own paradise.

Where she takes me to heaven, oh my Lord, what a ride!
And I've never been higher, on her love I could fly.
I was hellbound, on my way down, then I found what I need.
Oh, an angel loved the devil out of me.
Oh yes she did.
Yeah, an angel loved the devil out of me.

Well I finally found somebody,
Who lives to give their love to me, only me.
She takes away my worries,
Shows me how true love's meant to be, what a relief.

Now love don't have to be a ball and chain,
Or somebody pullin' on a puppet string.
Danglin' you around,
Like you got no mind all.

Love don't fade when the dog days come,
And hangs in tough 'til it sees the sun.
And I finally found somebody who,
Lets that love light shine on through.

Well I finally found somebody,
Who welcomes me with open arms, into their heart.
Thank God, my search is over.
I found a four-leaf clover, love took me long enough.

Now love don't have to be a ball and chain,
Or somebody pullin' on a puppet string.
Danglin' you around,
Like you got no mind all.

Love don't fade when the dog days come,
And hangs in tough 'til it sees the sun.
And I finally found somebody who,
Lets that love light shine on through.

Lets that love light shine on through.

Well I finally found somebody.
Well I finally found somebody.
I finally found somebody.
I finally found somebody.
