Lyrics
You can throw a silver dollar down upon the ground
And it will roll, because it’s round
A woman never knows what a good man she’s got
Until she turns him down
So listen my honey, listen to me, I want you to understand
That as a silver dollar goes from hand to hand
A woman wants to hold her man
A woman wants to hold her man
Interlude
A man without a woman is like a ship without a sail
A boat without a rudder or a fish without a tail
A man without a woman is like a wreck upon the sand
There’s only one thing worse in the universe
That’s a woman without a man, a woman without a man
