(Keith Whitley - Fred Koller) Now the bible tells the story 'bout Adam's rib How the Lord made a woman for companionship The first thing she did was take a bite of that forbidden fruit I guess we'll be payin' 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. Chorus: Now this is wrong, Baby that ain't right I'm workin' tryin' to please that woman day and night She's never satisfied although I try to do the best that I can This has gotta change or honey, I'm gonna leave I won't let evolution make a monkey outta me Oh Lord, I think I want my rib back. There's been a hole in my wallet and a pain in my side Ever since I made that girl my blushin' bride Her daddy calls her angel and her mamma calls her three times a night Her cousin's on my sofa. her sister's got my car Her brothers drink my liquor like my house was a bar Oh Lord, I think I want my rib back Oh Lord, I think I want my rib back. Chorus: Now this is wrong, Baby that ain't right I'm workin' tryin' to please that woman day and night She's never satisfied although I try to do the best that I can This has gotta change or honey, I'm gonna leave I won't let evolution make a monkey outta me Oh Lord, I think I want my rib back...
