Lyrics
0:48I love my man
0:51I'm a liar if I say I don't
0:57I love my man
1:00I'm a liar if I say I don't
1:06But I'll quit my man
1:09I'm a liar if I say I won't
1:16I've been your slave
1:19Ever since I've been your babe
1:25I've been your slave
1:28Ever since I've been your babe
1:34But before I'll be your dog
1:37I'll see you in your grave
1:43My man wouldn't give me no breakfast
1:46Wouldn't give me no dinner
1:48Squawked about me supper
1:50Then he put me outdoors
1:54Had the nerve to lay a
1:56Matchbox on my clothes
2:01I didn't have so many
2:03But I had a long long way to go
2:38I ain't good-looking
2:41And my hair ain't curled
2:47I ain't good-looking
2:51And my hair ain't curled
2:56But my mother she gave me something
3:00That's gonna tear me through this world
3:05Some men like me 'cause I'm happy
3:08Some 'cause I'm snappy
3:10Some call me honey
3:12Others think I got money
3:17Some tell me
3:18Baby you're built for speed
3:23Now if you put that all together
3:26Everything
3:27A good man needs
3:58Some men like me 'cause I'm happy
4:01Some 'cause I'm snappy
4:04Some call me honey
4:05Others think I got money
4:08They tell me
4:10Baby you're built for speed
4:16Now if you put that all together
4:19It makes me everything
4:20A good man needs
4:25If you put that all together
4:28It makes me everything
4:29A good man needs
I love my man I'm a liar if I say I don't I love my man I'm a liar if I say I don't But I'll quit my man I'm a liar if I say I won't I've been your slave Ever since I've been your babe I've been your slave Ever since I've been your babe But before I'll be your dog I'll see you in your grave My man wouldn't give me no breakfast Wouldn't give me no dinner Squawked about me supper Then he put me outdoors Had the nerve to lay a Matchbox on my clothes I didn't have so many But I had a long long way to go I ain't good-looking And my hair ain't curled I ain't good-looking And my hair ain't curled But my mother she gave me something That's gonna tear me through this world Some men like me 'cause I'm happy Some 'cause I'm snappy Some call me honey Others think I got money Some tell me Baby you're built for speed Now if you put that all together Everything A good man needs Some men like me 'cause I'm happy Some 'cause I'm snappy Some call me honey Others think I got money They tell me Baby you're built for speed Now if you put that all together It makes me everything A good man needs If you put that all together It makes me everything A good man needs
