A man without a woman is like a ship without a sail, A boat without a rudder or a fish without a tail, A man without a woman is like a wreck upon the sand, There's only one thing worse in the universe That's a woman without a man. A woman without a man. You can throw a silver dollar down upon the ground, And it will roll, because it's round. A woman never knows what a good man she's got, Until she turns him down, So listen, my honey, listen to me I want you to understand That as a silver dollar goes from hand to hand A woman goes from man to man, A woman goes from man to man.
