i wanna ask you something
tell me how do you feel knowing he’s my man
and the love he’s giving you was weak and secondhand
tell me tell me now how could you lay there stretched out in my bed
with my brand new nightie on
my rollers in your nappy hair
some girls ain’t got no pride at all no
some are just downright dirty some are just don’ts
all you’re getting is my leftovers
you’re digging out of love i done picked over
you oughta leave my man alone find one of your own
stop making the jaw girl scrape in the bone ow
it don’t bother me if your man gives you a little bit of loving sometiiiiimes
’cause you see i know if it makes it any good to you huh
it’s me that’s on his mind
but tell me tell me tell me now how could you forget girl
the man left you for me
and if he ever decides to do it to you
it’s out of responsibility
i don’t see how some folks can be so dumb no
you got the nerve to think you’re living good
but all you’re getting is trounced
all you’re getting is my leftovers
you’re digging out of love i done picked over
you oughta leave my man alone find one of your own
stop making the jaw girl scrape in the bone
ohaaow leave him alone now
go and find a man of your own
’cause there ain’t nothing left here but a man this evening girl
you see i done took everything he had
all you’re getting is my leftovers
you’re digging out of surplus garbage
hey leave him alone now
go and find a man of your own this evening girl
i know you look kind of bad but there must somebody around here that wants you anyway
you oughta leave the man alone now
hey baby
