Now the Bible tells the story about Adam's rib
How the Lord made a woman for companionship
Hell, the first thing she did was take a bite of that forbidden fruit
Well, I guess we'll be paying till the end of time
At least that's how it is with that woman of mine
Ho Lord, I think I want my rib back
Now this is wrong and baby, that ain't right
And I'm workin' tryin' to please that woman day and night
She's never satisfied although I try to do the best that I can
This has gotta change or honey I'm gonna leave
I won't let evolution make a monkey out of me
Ho Lord, I think I want my rib back
There's been a hole in wallet and a pain in my side
Ever since I made that girl my blushing bride
Her daddy calls her angel and her momma calls her
Three times a night
Her cousin's on my sofa, her sister's got my car
Her brothers drink my liquor like my house was a bar
Ho Lord, well, I think I want my rib back
Hey now this is wrong and baby, that ain't right
And I'm workin' tryin' to please that woman day and night
She's never satisfied although I try to do the best that I can
This has gotta change or honey I'm gonna leave
I won't let evolution gonna make a monkey out of me
Ho Lord, I think I want my rib back
Oh Lord, I think I want my rib back
