Verse 1 Now, the Bible tells a story 'bout Adam's rib. How the Lord made a woman for companionship, Hell, the first thing she did was take a bit of that forbidden fruit. Verse 2 I Guess we'll be paying till the end of time, At least that's how it is with that woman of mine, Oh Lord!, I think I want my rib back. Chorus: Well, this is wrong and baby that ain't right, But I'm working trying to please that woman day and night She's never satisfied although I try to do the best that I can. This is gotta change or honey I'm gonna leave, Well I won't let evolution make a Monkey outta me Oh Lord!, I think I want my rib back Verse 3 There's been a hole in my wallet and a pain in my side, Every since I made that girl my blushing bride Her daddy calls her angel and her mama calls her three times a night Verse 4 Her cousin's on my sofa, her sisters got my car Her brother's drank my liquer like my house was a bar, Oh Lord!, I think I want my rib back Chorus once Again
