He didn't come home from work and he went away
Till he came to a city bright in a night time like day
There they say he met up with some women dressed in yellow and scarlet
Their warm lips like a honeycomb dripped with honey
And something about the smell of strange perfume
Made him feel warm and not alone.
Yes Carolyn. A man will do that sometimes on his own
And sometimes when he's lonely
And I believe a man might do that sometimes out of spite
But Carolyn a man will do that always
When he's treated bad at home.

Yes Carolyn, a man will do that sometimes on his own
And sometimes when he's lonely
And I believe a man might do that sometimes out of spite
But Carolyn a man will do that always
When he's treated bad at home...
Carolyn let me tell you what I heard bout a man today He didn't come home from work and he went away Till he came to a city bright in a night time like day There they say he met up with some women dressed in yellow and scarlet Their warm lips like a honeycomb dripped with honey And something about the smell of strange perfume Made him feel warm and not alone. Yes Carolyn. A man will do that sometimes on his own And sometimes when he's lonely And I believe a man might do that sometimes out of spite But Carolyn a man will do that always When he's treated bad at home. --- Instrumental --- Yes Carolyn, a man will do that sometimes on his own And sometimes when he's lonely And I believe a man might do that sometimes out of spite But Carolyn a man will do that always When he's treated bad at home...
