Lyrics:

I'm tired of eatin' out of your hand
I'm tired of gettin' told
These blues are leavin' me
As of now, I'll be the one so bold
You'd better walk the chalk line
Let this poor man be
Or else you'll find yourself alone
Footloose and fancy free
Eatin' out of your hand
You think you've got me on a string
You proved it more than once
Now let me tell you just one thing
Some day, I'll leave you, woman
Then you'll understand
A man can only take so much
Of eatin' out of your hand

You're oh so domineering
Your wish is my command
Your jealous heart won't let me live
You boss me and demand
Your clothes, a diamond ring so fine
Your Cadillac is grand
Come pay day, I'm your victim
And I'm eatin' out of your hand
Eatin' out of your hand
You think you've got me on a string
You proved it more than once
Now let me tell you just one thing
Some day, I'll leave you, woman
Then you'll understand
A man can only take so much
Of eatin' out of your hand

When I come home, you're waiting
You question what I've done
You have my free time planned for me
I work from sun to sun
If only you would realize
That old stuff gets old
A man likes just a little time
He can call his own
Eatin' out of your hand
You think you've got me on a string
You proved it more than once
Now let me tell you just one thing
Some day, I'll leave you, woman
Then you'll understand
A man can only take so much
Of eatin' out of your hand

Eatin' out of your hand
You think you've got me on a string
You proved it more than once
Now let me tell you just one thing
Some day, I'll leave you, woman
Then you'll understand
A man can only take so much
Of eatin' out of your hand
