Now the bible tells the story about Adam's rib

How the Lord made a woman for companionship

And the first thing she did

Was take a bite of that forbidden fruit

Well, I guess we'll be paying til the end of time

At least that's how it is with that woman of mine

Ohh, Lord I think I want my rib back

(Chorus)

Now this is wrong and baby that ain't right

And I'm workin' trying to please that woman day and night

She's never satisfied although I try to do the best that I can

This is got to change or honey I'm gonna leave

I won't let evolution gonna make a monkey out of me

Ohh, Lord I think I want my rib back

There's been a hole in wallet and a pain in my side

Ever since I made that girl my blushin' bride

Her daddy calls her angel

And her mama calls her three times a night

Her cousins on my sofa, her sister's got my car

Her brother's drink my liquor like my house was a bar

Ohh, Lord well I think I want my rib back

(Repeat Chorus)

Ohh, Lord I think I want my rib back
