about

I'm absolutely delighted to feature one of my favorite people, Rita McAdoo, on vocals. I think you'll agree that Rita has a beautiful, classic voice.

lyrics

A leaking faucet
My boyfriend would have stopped it
A broken door
He’d make it swing
An aching heart
He’d fix that, too

But I can’t depend on anybody else
And so I’ve got to learn to do these things for myself
Or not

My girlfriend’s gone
And I miss her so
Had a little job uptown
Thought she’d never know
She packed her bags
I guess she had to go

I’ll get along
As best I can
But I’m starting to miss
My handyman
He’s a real hard worker
He’s in high demand

Now some guys work
In a corner office
Making decisions
Doing lunch with the bosses
But I’m the kind of man
Works with his hands

You worked for Sally and Amy
And Betty McBride
Lola said she was never
So satisfied
You take pride in your work
Always get your price

But I can’t depend on my handy boy
Some things I’ve got to learn to avoid—
Or not
