I got a woman,
stayin' in a high-rise downtown
Yeah, I got a woman,
in a high-rise downtown
Yeah, she's my little girl,
best woman I ever found
And she's a big, big woman,
she weighs nearby 200 pounds
She's a big, big woman,
nearby 200 pounds
She's Omar's little girl,
best woman I ever found
Oh Bessie Mae, Bessie Mae
Oh Bessie Mae, Bessie Mae
Bessie Mae, Bessie Mae
Bessie Mae, Bessie Mae
Oh Bessie Mae, Bessie Mae
What else can I say, but Bessie Mae
I love my baby
But the little girl,
I don't know if she loves me
I love my baby
But I said I don't know if she loves me
When I call her name,
I just wait and see
You know what a name is, let's go
Oh Bessie Mae, Bessie Mae
Bessie Mae, Bessie Mae
Bessie Mae, Bessie Mae
Bessie Mae, Bessie Mae
Oh Bessie Mae, Bessie Mae
What else can I say, but Bessie Mae
I got a woman,
stayin' in a high-rise downtown
Yeah, I got a woman,
in a high-rise downtown
Yeah, she's Omar little girl,
best woman I ever found
Here we go, you know it
Oh Bessie Mae, Bessie Mae, ohoh
Bessie Mae, Bessie Mae, uh
Oh Bessie Mae, Bessie Mae, oh
Bessie Mae, Bessie Mae
Oh Bessie Mae, Bessie Mae
What else can I say
