How Much Rain Can One Man Stand - Joe Diamond

There's a devil in my body That I just can't satisfy Other women haunt me Even though I love my wife. It's because I really love her, I try to save her heart with lies But I know she knows I can see it in her eyes. I try to stay at home, love only her, Play with the kids and watch T.V. But then my mind becomes unsure About the kind of love I need. My reasons for cheating There as good as lies can be How much more can she stand And still stand by me? --- Instrumental --- It's so hard for me to call her I can hardly dial the phone I did wrong again last night, Now I just want to go back home. She knows that I lied, Lord, she'll cry where I can't see How much more can she stand And still stand by me? How much more can she stand And still stand my me?.

There once was a time when everything was cheap, But now prices nearly puts a man to sleep. When we pay our grocery bill, We just feel like making our will -- Tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live? I remember when dry goods were cheap as dirt, We could take two bits and buy a dandy shirt. Now we pay three bucks or more, Maybe get a shirt that another man wore -- Tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live? Well, I used to trade with a man by the name of Gray, Flour was fifty cents for a twenty-four pound bag. Now it's a dollar and a half beside, Just like a-skinning off a flea for the hide -- Tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live? Oh, the schools we have today ain't worth a cent, But they see to it that every child is sent. If we don't send everyday, We have a heavy fine to pay -- Tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live? Prohibition's good if 'tis conducted right, There's no sense in shooting a man 'til he shows flight. Officers kill without a cause, They complain about funny laws -- Tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live? Most all preachers preach for gold and not for souls, That's what keeps a poor man always in a hole. We can hardly get our breath, Taxed and schooled and preached to death -- Tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live? Oh, it's time for every man to be awake, We pay fifty cents a pound when we ask for steak. When we get our package home, A little wad of paper with gristle and a bone -- Tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live? Well, the doctor comes around with a face all bright, And he says in a little while you'll be all right. All he gives is a humbug pill, A dose of dope and a great big bill -- Tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live?
