They Went Home
Maya Angelou

They went home and told their wives
That never once in all their lives
Had they met a girl like me
But... They went home

They said my house was licking clean
No word I spoke was ever mean
I had an air of mystery
But... They went home

My praises were on all men's lips
Like liked my smile, my wit, my hips,
They'd spend one night, or two, or three,
But...
