Little man watch your woman just a little too close
Little man keep a woman tie down
And a woman's gonna wonder what it is she's a missin'
And a woman's gonna want to look around
Love's gotta have a little breathing room
A woman's gonna have a little say
Love's gotta have a little breathing room
Else a woman's gonna want to break away
[ guitar ]
The only way I know holding on to a woman
Is to give her all the loving she can stand
And the best way to make her to be a do right mama
Is to try to be a do right man
Love's gotta have a little breathing room...
[ guitar ]
So if you got you a woman and she's doing you right
Then be satisfied and let it goin' fat
Cause when you start out a lookin' where there's something better cookin'
You might find your woman where it's at
Love's gotta have a little breathing room...
