Burning Bed

( *sirens* )

(Now that's a fire!)

[ all (2X) ]

Treat your woman right

Or get that burning bed at night

You've got to treat her right

Treat her right - treat her right

(Willie!)

[ Doctor Ice ]

The women of today ain't with it

If you ain't gonna be loyal, forget it

I know the deal, so I admit it

Because I knew a brother that did it

He used to be a nice looking dude, the ladies' choice

He would charm them all with the sound of his voice

He's not a sucker, a bum, the boy ain't soft

He likes to be clean and dress his ass off

He was light-skinned with curly hair

He would make his girl think he was so sincere

Always said "I'm cool," called himself an expert

Comin home every night with lipstick on his shirt

She took it like a champ and let him do it

Until one day he really blew it

Rappin to girls one day by the dozen

And one of those girls was his girlfriend's cousin

He was so blind cause he was on a roll

Comin home drunk one night singin James Brown's soul

"Get up-a!" bangin on the door he said

"Get up-a!" and banged once more

So she opened the door with a smile on her face

Brung him to the bed, untied his shoe lace

Took off all his clothes and then she said

"Good night sucker" - and burned the bed

So

Treat your woman right

Or get that burning bed at night

You've got to treat her right

Treat her right - treat her right

Burn em up

She only burn you can see what's ugly, Willie

Now you look like Richard Fire

I mean Richard Pryor, Willie

Willie, jump in the pool

(Now that's a fire!)

[ Doctor Ice ]

So never in life think that you're too great

Cause it'svery thin line between love and hate

You see, he wasn't just burned, the boy was torched

Burned from head to toe and then so-and-so was scorched

He's with the same girl, now he's sincerer

She ain't worried about a thing cause he ain't goin nowhere

When I see him now I say "yo bro"

Cause he's the darkest brother that I now know

No more Casanova, that life is over

He used to drink heavy, now he stays sober

She burned him bad, now he stays alert

But I know when they make love, brother, it hurts

You wouldn't think the girl would hurt a fly

But she proved that to be a goddamn lie

From what I recall, he gives her much respect

Point blank, word, she got him in check

So

[ all (2X) ]

Treat your woman right

Or get that burning bed at night

You've got to treat her right

Treat her right - treat her right

[ Doctor Ice ]

See, you can hit em, beat em, call em a creep

But remember, homeboy, you've got to sleep

So chill, be nice or pay the price

Of bein burned, walk easy like Doctor Ice

Get out the house, Willie!

(Now that's a fire!)

(Fire)

Willie's on..

(Fire)

Get out the house, Willie

(Fire)

Damn, you shoulda seen this..

(Fire)

She burned him bad

Damn Willie

(Fire)

That mama ain't Willie

(Fire)

If his woman ain't Ms. Willhelmina

(Fire)

She burned him up

She burned him up

(Fire)

Don't get the burning bed, Willie

(Fire)

It's too late now

You're blacker than black

(Fire)

You used to be light-skinned, ain't no turnin back

(Fire)

You look like some left-over from a cook-out, Willie

Yo

I told you leave that bitch alone

I told ya, Willie

I told ya

(Aight, that's cool)
