    ‘ah i don’t hear it’
    ‘hold it right there’
    ‘i’m holding’

    spoken

    say man
    don’t walk ahead of that woman
    like she don’t belong to you
    just ’cause her got them little skinny legs
    you know that ain’t no way to do

    you didn’t act like that when ya had it home
    behind closed do’s
    alright

    now you act like you ashamed of the woman
    don’t even want nobody to know she’s yo’s
    but that’s alright
