Carolyn let me tell you what I've heard about a man today
He didn't come home from work and he went away
Till he came to a city bright in the night time like day

There they say he met up with some women dressed in yellow and scarlet
Oh their warm lips like a honeycomb dripped with honey
And there's something about the smell of strange perfume
Made him feel warm and not alone

Yes Carolyn a man will do that sometimes on his own
Sometimes when he's lonely
And I believe a man might do that sometimes out of spite
But Carolyn a man will do that always
When he's treated bad at home

Yes Carolyn a man will do that
