I had a woman she was good to me
She my sugar, Is her honey bee
I had a woman and she was good to me
She was my sugar I was her honey bee

Got around to making wedding vows
Dont know why things went wrong somehow
Well we got around to making those wedding vows
(I do so do I)
Dont know why but things seemed to go wrong somehow

She spent my money she chased my friends
Pretty soon I know wed reached the end
Yes she spent my money ooh Lord and she chased my friends
Pretty soon I know wed reached the end

She put the money into matrimony
She put the lock onto wedlock too
When love goes wrong it sure aint funny
Got the alimony blues, alimony blues

My lawyer told me things are looking lean
You get 20 you give her 19
My lawyer told me things are loking lean
You get 20 you give her 19

Well the judge he says you got to pay
Keep on paying till that Judgement Day
Well that judge he says son you got to pay and pay
Keep on paying until that Judgement Day

She put the money into matrimony
She put the lock onto wedlock too
When love goes wrong it sure aint funny
Got the alimony blues, alimony blues

I hope youll always have a happy life
No divorce court no greedy wife
I hope youll always have a happy life
No divorce court never no greedy wife

Shell put the money into matrimony
Shell put the lock into wedlock too
When love goes wrong it sure aint funny-acap
