I like the twist in this song, which goes from misogynist lines like "'Cause women these days/ They're so doggone crooked" to the point that while this man is out with his "outside women," his wife is home "cooking your food, doing your dirt."  (It's as if Dion suddenly realized the hypocrisy of "The Wanderer" and "Runaround Sue.")  This turns out to be a cover of a 1929 blues song by Blind Joe Reynolds.
