"Silver Dollar" lyrics

Silver Dollar

Don't you know
That a man without a woman
Is like a ship without a sail
A boat without a rudder
Or a fish without a tail

And 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

Now you can throw a silver dollar
Down on the ground
And it'll roll because it's round
A woman never knows
What a good man she's got
Until he puts her down

So listen, my honey
Give a listen to me
I want you to understand
That if you don't wanna be
Like a silver dollar
You better be good to this man

You throw a silver dollar
Down upon that ground
And it'll roll because it's round
Yeah, a woman never knows
What a good man she got
Until he puts her down

So give a listen, my honey
Listen to me
I want you to understand
That if you don't wanna be
Like a silver dollar
You better be good to this man

I mean
If you don't wanna be
Like a silver dollar
You better be good to this man
One more time

That if you don't wanna be
Like a silver dollar
Woman
Better be good to this man
