[Verse 1]
It's not that I can't get up in the morning
And go fry myself an egg
It's not that I can't reach and put a bandaid
On the scratch on my leg
It's not that I can't iron a shirt
And sweep up dirt and feed the bird
All the little things you used to do
But it's just gonna take some getting used to

[Verse 2]
It's not that I can't organize the checkbook
And make sure the bills're paid
It's not that I might be sleeping in the house
All by myself, I'm not afraid
And I can water all the plants
And mend my pants and spray for ants
All the things I never had to do
It's just gonna take some gettin' used to

[Chorus]
I'm just gonna have to take my life
And do a little rearranging
But I don't mean that something's bad necessarily
Just 'cause it's changing
I've heard it said
A man can adjust to anything
Except to have a rock down in his shoe
It's just gonna take some getting used to

[Verse 3]
I may be the only man on this whole block
Who's the lady of the house
But someone's gotta stay and float a ship
When the captain's bailing out
So you go on and have your fun
And worry none and listen hon
I won't be here grievin' over you
It's just gonna take some getting used to

[Chorus]
I'm just gonna have to take my life
And do a little rearranging
But I don't mean that something's bad necessarily
Just 'cause it's changing
I've heard it said
A man can adjust to anything
Except to have a rock down in his shoe
It's just gonna take some getting used to
