Well I'm married to the good life I said I'd be a good wife When I put on this ring I drive a new Mercedes I play tennis with the ladies I buy all the finer things But all that don't mean nothing When you can't get a good night's loving Oh little rock Think I'm gonna have to slip you off Take a chance tonight and untie the knot There's more to life than what I've got Oh little rock You know this heart of mine just can't be bought I'm gonna find someone who really cares a lot When I slip off this little rock Well I wonder if he'll miss me He doesn't even kiss me When he comes home at night He never calls me honey But he sure loves his money And I'm the one who pays the price But when he finds this ring he'll see He keeps everything but me Oh little rock Think I'm gonna have to slip you off Take a chance tonight and untie the knot There's more to life than what I've got Oh little rock You know this heart of mine just can't be bought I'm gonna find someone who really cares a lot When I slip off this little rock Oh little rock Think I'm gonna have to slip you off Take a chance tonight and untie the knot There's more to life than what I've got Oh little rock You know this heart of mine just can't be bought I'm gonna find someone who really cares a lot When I slip off this little rock
