The man is blowing his whole thing.
But what the hell?  (A little taste of outside love...)
You can't really blame him.
If she hadn't been taking care of business like she was supposed to, he never wouldn't have had that woman over there in the first place.
She's just as childish, sit up on her butt all day long and do nothing.
And he done spoiled the hell out of her trying to give her anything she wants.
So when he called up here talking to me about it, I told him exactly how I felt about it.

You created a monster from a shy country girl.
Built her up to high class quality.
Then she turned on me.
You created a monster.
Gave her too much freedom.
She's got a chance to run around.
Now she's the talk of the town.

Bright lights and the city life has gone to your baby's head:
Fast cars and after-hour bars.
Now her love is dead.
Created from the tree of life,
But somewhere you lost the key.
Can't find the answer no more.
You lost the remedy.  Oh.

Ah, ah, ah, ah.

You created a monster from a shy country girl.
Built her up to high class quality.
Then she turned on me.

Like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,
Your baby changed right before your eyes.
All of a sudden, your baby's left.
She's like a vampire out for blood.
Since the day you changed her,
Your baby's been a stranger.
You oughta tie her to your ball and chain.
Don't take no more of this strange thing.

It's your fault the mark offs the tombstone.
You should've left well enough alone.
Throw her back in the mixer.
You forgot how to fix her.  Whaaow!

Uh, uh, uh, oh, oh.
I told him you created a monster.
Gave her a chance to run around.
You created a monster, yeah.
Now she's the talk of the town.
(You created a monster.)
I don't wanna hear about it no more!
Just go ahead and leave me alone with this!
I don't wanna hear about no monsters, no bats, no nothing!
Don't even call me with this bullshit no more!
Call Miss Rudolph or somebody!
It just really got on my nerves with this mess, baby.
