I'm gonna find me
Lord, I'm gonna find me a part-time love

I've got to find me
I've just got to fine me a part-time love

The next time my baby leave me
I want everybody to know
I gotta find me a part-time lover

People in the cemetery they're not all alone
Some turn to dust and some have bones

I'd rather be dead, six feet in my grave
Than to have live lonely baby each and every day
My baby came home this morning
I asked her where had she been
She said don't ask me no more questions, Daddy
Because I've got to be leaving you again

And that's why, that's why I've got to find me
Lord I got to find me a part-time love
The next time my baby leave me
I want everyone to know I got to find me
A part-time love

And there's just one more thing I want to say

Every time my baby leave me
I have to suffer the whole time she's gone
Every time my baby leave me
I have to suffer the whole time she's gone

But the next time my baby leave me
I want every body to know I got to find me a part-time love

And there's just one more thing I want to say

I'm talking about the kind of love, boys
One that's gonna be my doctor on my sick bed
I'm talking about the kind of love, boys
One that's gonna stick with me through thick and thin
I'm talking about the kind of love, boys
One that's gonna be a lawyer in my courtroom
