Lyrics
Now listen to me people, I?ll only say it one time.
My woman ain?t no good and she?s messin? up my mind.
She?s hardly ever home, and when I see her you can bet
I?ll say, ?Where you been now Baby?? and she?ll say, ?I forget.?
Well she?s no lady-she?s that no good woman of mine.
Last week I had decided I would let my baby know
That she may be an actress, but she ain?t starring in my show.
I said, ?Now listen baby, I ain?t tryin? to be rude??
She said, ?You better save it honey ?cause I ain?t in the mood.?
Well she?s no lady-she?s that no good woman of mine.
CHORUS
Well my baby don?t talk real sweet to me.
She treats me just like a fool.
And though I ought to leave her for someone new
I know that no one else could ever make love like she do.
Now just the other day I had a talk with my best friend.
He said, ?You got to leave her- she?ll bring you to your end.?
I said to my good buddy, ?well that?s something that I know.
But if her lovin? kills me, that?s the only way to go.?
Well she?s no lady-she?s that no good woman of mine.
CHORUS
Now you may say I?m crazy. I mean, really out of my mind
To stay with a no good woman who treats me so unkind.
But my baby?s a voodoo doctor. I?m a victim to her spell.
But I tell you right now that no body, no how, could yank my chain so well.
Well she?s no lady-she?s that no good woman of mine.
