You're the one who
Walked down the aisle with him
But I'm the one who
Satisfies him
You're the one
Who wears his ring
But I'm the one
Makes his heart sing

You got the paper (you got the paper)
I got the man
You got the paper (you got the paper)
I got the man
You got a name
But I got his hand

Well, you're going around saying
That he's using me
But if he's using me, girl
Sure keeps me pleased
You got the house and car
But I've got his time
His money may be yours, girl
But his heart sure is mine

You got the paper (you got the paper)
I got the man
You got the paper (you got the paper)
I got the man
You got a name
I got his hand

So many ladies
Are alone today
Thinking papers on a man
Gonna make him stay
Paper don't mean nothing
If the love ain't there
You can go on and take the paper
And I'll just take his loving care
Yes, I will
Yes, I will

You got the paper (you got the paper)
I got the man
You got the paper (you got the paper)
I got the man
You got the paper (you got the paper)
I got the man
You got the paper (you got the paper)
I got the man
You got the paper (you got the paper)
I got the man
You got the paper (you got the paper)
I got the man
You got the paper (you got the paper)
I got the man
