Well, I knew it when I first met you baby
That your love was strong
You ain't doing nothing but
Keeping me away from home, but hey
You gonna need
You gonna need my help, I say
Well, you know I won't have to worry
I'll have everything little girl, comin' my way
Well, you go out in the morning
And don't come back home till night
You won't cook me no food
And say you baby treat me right, but hey
You're gonna need
You're gonna need my help, I say
Well, you know I won't have to worry
I'll have everything little girl, comin' my way
All right, Mrs. Walker
Well, you got to bed at night
And turn your back to me
I ask you: What's the matter?
You say: Let me be, but hey
You gonna need
You're gonna need my help, I say
Well, you know I won't have to worry
I'll have everything little girl, comin' my way
