| Well, my baby collects my paycheck |
| She’s spending free and wise |
| She got in a new place lately, she treats me like a child |
| But baby, that will never do |
| If that’s the way you gonna treat me, baby |
| You might as well say we’re through |
| It’s got to a place lately I can’t tell her what to do |
| She will shake a finger in my face |
| And say, 'I'm working just like you' |
| But baby, that will never do |
| If that’s the way you gonna treat me, baby |
| You might as well say we’re through |
| Well, the woman is so jealous, she don’t want me to go to work |
| Now she raise all my sins |
| Whenever we go to church |
| Well, listen, baby, that will never do |
| If that’s the way you gonna treat me, baby |
| You might as well say we’re through |
| Well, baby, that will never do |
| Well, baby, that will never do |
| If that’s the way you gonna be |
| You might as well say we’re through |
