Women be wise, 

keep your mouth shut, 

don't advertise your man

Don't sit around gossiping, 

explaining what your good man really can do

Some women nowadays, 

Lord they ain't no good

They will laugh in your face, 

Then try to steal your man from you

Women be wise, 

keep your mouth shut, 

don't advertise your man



Your best girlfriend, 

she might be a highbrow, 

she changes clothes 3 times a day

What do you think she's doing now, 

while you're so far away

She's loving your man in your own damn bed

You better call for the doctor, mama, 

try to investigate your head

Women be wise, keep your mouth shut, 

don't advertise your man



Women be wise, keep your mouth shut, 

don't advertise your man

Don't sit around, girl, 

telling all your secrets, 

telling all those good things he really can do 

If you talk about your baby, 

you tell me he's so fine

Lord honey, 

I just might sneek up and try to make him mine

Women be wise, 

keep your mouth shut, 

don't advertise your man



Don't be no fool, 

don't advertise your man (baby don't do it)
