When I was single I always dressed so fine
Now that I'm married I go ragged all the time
And I wish I was a single girl again oh I wish I was a single girl again

When I was single I ate ice cream and pie
Now that I'm married it's cornbread or die
And I wish I was a single girl again oh I wish I was a single girl again

When I was single marryin' I did crave
Now that I'm married I'm worse than a slave
And I wish I was a single girl again oh I wish I was a single girl again

Big old no good old husband layin' there in bed
So tired and lazy can't lift up his head

And I wish I was a single girl again oh I wish I was a single girl again
Lay in bed and jump a mile at the slightest noise
Big protectin' husband out with the boys

And I wish I was a single girl again oh I wish I was a single girl again
Clean the house and wash the clothes then it's time to cook
Big old lazy husband readin' funny books

And I wish I was a single girl again oh I wish I was a single girl again
I wish I was a single girl again oh I wish I was a single girl again
