What's this I hearthat's going all around town?
The people are sayin' you gonna put the kid down
Lordy, what're you doing?
You can call it what you want,
I call it messin' with the kid
You told me you loved me
You told me a lie
I love you woman till the day I die
Lordy, what're you doing?
You can call it what you want,
I call it messin' with the kid
You took the kid's car and drove all around town,
Tellin' everybody you're gonna put the kid down.
Lordy, what're you doing?
Call it what you want
I call it messin' with the kid
Messin' with the kid.
Messin' with the kid.
Messin' with the kid.
Messin' with the kid.
You can call it what you want
I call it messin' with the kid
You told me you loved me
You told me a lie
I love you woman till the day I die
Take my car and drive all around town
Tellin' everybody you gonna put me down
Lordy, what're you doing?
Call it what you want
I call it messin' with the kid
Messin' with the kid
Messin' with the kid
Messin' with the kid
Messin' with the kid
Messin' with the kid
