If you're tied up
You'd better stay tied up
'Cause it's cheaper to keep her
This is from T services

It's cheaper to keep her
It's cheaper to keep her

When your little
Girl make you mad
And you get an attitude
And pack your bags

Five little children
That you're leaving behind
Son, you're gonna pay some
Alimony or do some time

That's why
It's cheaper to keep her
Help me say it, y'all
It's cheaper to keep her
(It's cheaper to keep her)

See, when you get through
Staring that judge in the face
You're gonna wanna cuss
The whole human race

That's why
It's cheaper to keep her
(It's cheaper to keep her)
(It's cheaper to keep her)
(It's cheaper, it's cheaper)
(It's cheaper, it's cheaper)
(It's cheaper to keep her)

You didn't pay but two dollars
To bring the little girl home
Now you're about to pay
Two thousand to leave her alone

You see another woman out there
And you wanna make a change
She ain't gonna want you cause
You won't have a damn thing

That's why it's cheaper to keep her

Everybody sing along with me
It's cheaper to keep her
(It's cheaper to keep her)

By the time you get through
Looking that judge in the face
You're gonna wanna cuss
The whole human race

That's why
It's cheaper to keep her
(It's cheaper to keep her)
Its cheaper to keep her
(It's cheaper to keep her)
(It's cheaper, it's cheaper)
(It's cheaper, it's cheaper)
(It's cheaper to keep her)

I know you think
The grass is greener
Way over on the other side
When that Judge give
You that dirty look
You may as well put your
Money in momma's pocketbook

That's why it's cheaper to keep her
(It's cheaper to keep her)
Cost too much to leave her alone, yeah
I know it's cheaper to keep her, yeah
(It's cheaper to keep her)

'Cause you gonna pay some
Alimony if you leave home
I tell y'all
It's cheaper to keep her
All the fellas know
What I'm talking bout

Don't you know
It's cheaper to stay at home
I gotta tell you
I'll bring you the message tonight

It's cheaper to keep her
Cheaper to keep her
Cheaper to keep her
Cheaper to keep her

She's gonna cause you too much
Log on to Top40db.
If you let her go, man
It's cheaper to keep her

You might as well put up
With your little arguments
And fussing and fighting
I am gonna tell you something tonight
I'll tell you, cheaper to keep her

Ain't it, man
Ain't it cheaper to
Keep her, ha yeah

By time you get through
Looking that judge in the face
You'll be lucky if you
Even have a place

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
