Johnny gave Susan a wedding band Now she wears it on her left hand I'm doing the best I can To forget she used to call me her right hand man Susan always knew I'm not marrying kind But she said she would love me for all time Said a wedding band just sparkles and shines Be my right hand man and that'll be fine A right hand man can be your lover Carry the load when the wind blows cold He can be replaced by another Who's carrying the gold Susan made me think our love was real There are times I believe her still But Johnny walked in right out of left field Put a right hand man in a left hand deal A right hand man can be your lover Carry the load when the wind blows cold He can be replaced by another Who's carrying the gold They say don't let your right hand know what your left hand's doin' Susan kept me in the dark for a long, long time I had no idea that love's foundation was turning into ruin Cause being a right hand man was a dream of mine
