Most Certainly Gladly Left Alone

I just want to take the day off Walk all over the house, up and down the hall in my drawers With a lit cigarette in my mouth "Round the time I was supposed to be clocking in Trying to meet ends More I make the more they take Today it's not gonna be that way My old girl gone and took the kids with her I'm not wrong ladies But fellas! Don't she have to leave in order for me to miss her? TV is cool but it can't never take the place of a Marvin Gaye groove Food for the soul + Soul food Cornbread, chicken, and greens Somebody somewhere knows what I mean When you want to be left alone A happy home stays that way when a man can stay there from time to time With his records, cigars, gin and wine Left alone........ Just for a while with no one else around to put him down Or raise a fuss when the music is up loud Simply left alone, Not separate You'd be suprised how a whole lot of things would stay together that way
