To marry a beautiful woman these days, Is just like a murder crime To marry a beautiful woman these days, Is just like a murder crime If you lookin' for a real good woman, Boy you just wastin' time First she don't know how to sweeten your coffee, She can't even make up your bed She don't know how to sweeten your coffee, She can't make up your bed She can't even roast your meat And how she mess up your bread Next she can't bake cornbread, She can't even boil beef stew She can't even bake cornbread, She can't boil beef stew Man if your woman is beautiful and dumb, That don't mean a thing to you My gal baked me some bread this morning, The bread refused to rise My gal baked me some bread this morning, The bread refused to rise The crust was tough on the bread, Was as the rubber on a Maxwell tyre Some men crave beautiful women, But in my life it's not worthwile Some men crave beautiful women, But in my life it's not worthwile After all they're just beautiful, Ain't got sense of a newborn child
