Now listen here my baby : tell you what I want you to do
Want you treat me mama : like I do you

Because I can't be satisfied : and I can't be satisfied
And I can't mistreat her : not to please nobody's mind

Now I love my sweety : tell you the reason why
My baby got something : to satisfy my mind

Lord starvation's in my kitchen : rent sign's on my door
Good girl told me : she can't use me no more

I'm leaking at the heart : bleeding at the nose
Good girl told me : she can't use me no more

Got on my high‑cut stockings : low cut shoes
Mama and I ain't ??? : ??? sure can use

Now look a‑here boys : ain't this rich
I got to pay my wife : for everything I get
