Women's Company - Ben Watt

He made a business for himself in '63

Proud to be somebody for his family

An offer came to buy him out

Recklessly he shelved his doubt

And sold up to regret it bitterly

And left us in the women’s company

He left us in the women’s company

Yes, we were raised by women mainly, rarely men

Weekends I remember mostly aunts and friends

He remained a silent ghost

Can’t think what I missed the most

Sentimental stuff most probably

But I got used to women’s company

I got used to women’s company

And you are the one that I want

You are the one, you are the one that I want

And you are the one that I want

You are the one, you are the one that I want

And the women they would sing

And the house it would ring

With endless song

Like nothing had gone wrong

The jocks fill up these local bars

I pick my wife up in the car

We drive back to the house so quietly

I prefer it in women’s company

I like it in the women’s company

Yeah, you are the one that I want

You are the one, you are the one that I want

And you are the one that I want

You are the one, you are the one that I want

Let’s go to the river, darling

Let’s go to the river

Let’s drive to the river
