Got sick and tired of the way you do
Good time papa gonna poison you
Sprinkle goofer dust all around your bed
Wake up one morning, find your own self dead
She said, "You shouldn't say that"
I said, "Now,what did I say to make you mad this time, baby?"
She said, "Umm...I don't know...oh my, oh my
I don't know but my baby's puttin' down"
The woman I love has got devil in her jaw
The clothes she wears has been out of the best of cloth
She can take and wash 'em, and hang 'em outside of the wall
Throw 'em out the window, right where I catch 'em a little before the fall
Sometimes I think you have your habits on
She said, "You shouldn't say that"
I said, "Now, what should I say to make you mad this time, baby?"
She said, "Umm...I don't know...oh my, oh my
I don't know but my baby's puttin' down"
My papa told me, my momma sat down and cried
"You're too young a man, son, to have as many woman as you got
I looked at my mother dear, I didn't even crack a smile
I said, "If the women kill me, I don't mind dying"
The woman I love, I want to wait for last
The woman I love, I have all class
Thought I warned you baby, a long time ago
You don't watch your step, gonna have to let you go
She said, "You shouldn't say that"
I said, "Now, what should I say to make you mad this time, baby?"
She said, "Umm...I don't know...oh my, oh my
I don't know but my baby's puttin' down"
