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
