Understand Your Man

Don’t call my name out your window, I’m leavin'

I won’t even turn my head

Don’t send your kinfolk to give me no talkin'

I’ll be gone, like I said

You’d just say the same old things

That you be sayin'all along

Just lay there in your bed and keep your mouth shut

Till I’m gone

Don’t give me that old familiar cry and fuss and moan

Understand your man

I'm tired of your bad mouthing

Understand your man

Now, you can give my other suit to the Salvation Army

And everything else I leave behind

I ain't taking nothing that'll slow down my traveling

While I'm untangling my mind

I ain't gonna repeat what I said anymore

While I'm breathing air that ain't been breathed before

I'll be as gone as the wild gruesome winter

Then you'll understand your man

Meditate on it

You hear me talking now

Understand your man

Remember what I told ya

Understand your man
