What you gonna do with a woman, yeah, when she got a back do' friend?

What are you gonna do with a woman, yes, when she got a back do' friend?

She just prayin' for you to move out, so her back do' friend can move in

Yes, it's hard to love a woman, yes, you know she got a back do' friend

Yes, it's hard to love a woman, oh Lord, yes, you know she got a back do' friend

Yes, when she prayin' for you to move out, so her back do' friend can move in

Yeah, you know I bought that woman a diamond ring, I thought that she would change

I went home one morn' and I caught her doin', whoa, that same old thing

Now what you gonna do with a mad woman, oh, when she got a back do' friend

When she prayin' all the time for you to move out, so her back do' friend, he can move in
