Don't think 'cause you're pretty, women, got every man in town
You know you ain't doin' nothin' but tearin' yo' own reputation down
You know the blues a bad feelin', when you have them 'bout the break of day
You know the blues a mighty bad feelin', when you have them long 'bout the break of day
Well, you look for her in the bed, where yo' baby used to lay
Mmm, what you want with a rooster, he won't crow 'fo day?
What you want with a woman, she won't do what she say?
