Lyrics Sadie, Sadie (Alternate Vocal Version) - Diana Ross , The Supremes

Sadie, Sadie, married lady
See what's on my hand?
There's nothing quite as touching
As a simple wedding band

How that marriage license works
On chamber maids and hotel clerks
The honeymoon was such delight
That we got married that same night

I'm Sadie, Sadie, married lady
Still in bed at noon
Wracking my brain deciding
Between orange juice and prune

He says nothing is too good for me
And who am I not to agree
I'm Sadie, Sadie, married lady
That's me

Sadie, Sadie, married lady
Meet a mortgagee
The owner of an ice-box
With a ten year guarantee
Oh, sit me in the softest seat

Quick a cushion for my feet
Do for me, buy for me
Lift me, carry me
Finally got a guy to marry me

Do my nails, read up on the sales
All day the records play
Then he comes home, I tell him
Oh, what a day I had today (Sadie, Sadie)

I swear I'll do my wifely job
Sit at home, become a slob
I'm Sadie, Sadie, married lady
Sadie, Sadie, married lady
Sadie, Sadie, married lady, that's me

That's who?
That's you!
That's me
I'm Sadie, Sadie, married lady, that's me

You wish it was you
