| Now my step-dad was a kind of man |
| Who liked his women… submissive |
| A pop or slap or a broken bone |
| Wasn’t too far from his thinking |
| Now my mom was a take-no-bullshit tomboy |
| She didn’t mess around |
| She said we’re doing this fifty-fifty |
| And she wasn’t backing down |
| He shouted, «Woman, I know what you need» |
| «Because you have lost your head» |
| Now she knew what was going down |
| And her reply was this: |
| Do you plan on sleeping tonight? |
| Do you plan on sleeping tonight? |
| Now my mom’s best friend was a beautiful girl |
| When she married my daddy’s brother |
| She was so fine, he was jealous all the time |
| He was always being on her |
| Once it got so bad he beat her in the face |
| Broke her bones — could have been murder |
| He got away with it cause she put up with his shit |
| Not like my mother |
| She said, «Boy if you hit me» |
| «You will never tell» |
| «And your mama won’t even know you» |
| «When she’s at your funeral» |
| Do you plan on sleeping tonight? |
| Do you plan on sleeping? |
| Do you plan on sleeping tonight? |
| Oh, I have got one question, but do as you like |
| Do you plan on sleeping tonight? |
| So my step-dad didn’t call her bluff |
| He knew what he was gonna do |
| No drama, it was plan and simple |
| Conversation moot |
| He packed up and left town |
| And found himself another wife |
| Wherever he’s at, it’s a matter of fact |
| I bet he’s glad he’s got his life |
| Now mama didn’t take no crap |
| She always did what she said |
| She has a button you don’t want to push |
| Cause you never know what you’ll get |
| Do you plan on sleeping tonight? |
| Do you plan on sleeping tonight? |
| Just one question: Do what you like |
| Do you plan on sleeping tonight? |
