Came home this morning quarter past eight
Expecting her nagging for staying out late
But she didn't scold me or tell me I'm wrong
For I didn't notice my sweetheart had gone
Dirty dishes dirty dishes I'm losing my mind
My babies done; left me she left me behind
Now I so lonely and lonely I'll be
With no one to wash all my dishes for me
A note on the table and here's what it read
You been a cheating that's all that she said
I just stood there about it, but my tears were in vain
But she never believe me again
Dirty dishes dirty dishes I'm losing my mind
My babies done; left me she left me behind
Now I so lonely and lonely I'll be
With no one to wash all my dishes for me
-Instrumentals-
I've never cheated believe me it's true
Or broken a promise that I've made to you
And you'll never know just how happy I'd be
If you would come back wash those dishes for me
Dirty dishes dirty dishes I'm losing my mind
My babies done; left me she left me behind
Now I so lonely and lonely I'll be
With no one to wash all my dishes for me
Dirty dishes dirty dishes I'm losing my mind
My babies done; left me she left me behind
Now I so lonely and lonely I'll be
With no one to wash all my dishes for me
