Yes, yeah

Yeah

Mm-mmm-mmm
Mm-mm, mm-mmm

Now, I got a brown skin girl
Wit' her front tooth crowned with gold

'Take your time, make this one last
'cause it's the best one you got'

Now, I got a brown skin woman
Wit' her front tooth crowned with gold
She got a lien on my body
And a mortgage on my soul

Now, friend don't never let your good girl
Friend, just like this woman got me
'Yes, yes, yes, yes'
Friend, don't never let your good girl
Friend, just like this woman got me
'How she got you, did it?'
Got me stone crazy 'bout her
As a doggone fool can be
Yeah!

Now, I ain't gonna tell nobody
Baby, 'bout the way you do
'Take your time now an play it right'
Ain't gon' tell nobody
Baby, 'bout the way you do-ooo
'How you got, how'd I do?'
Said you always keep someone
Some fat-mouth followin' you.

Yeah, ha-ha-ha

Now, I tol' you once, now baby, now
Ain't gon' tell you no mo'
Umm-mmm-mmm
I done tol' you once, baby
Ain't gon' tell you no mo'
'Why?'
Next time I have to tell you
I'm sho' gonna let you go

Now, when you get you
One a-them funny woman
'Take your time, now'
She won't do to trust
Get you a 2X4, an I swear
I can strut yo' stuff
Mmm-hmm
Babe, an that's all I want
Just a little bit a-lovin'
An then you can be gone.
