Lyrics
I Ain't Gonna Take It by Glenn Warren & Worley Max McKinney
You came home broke...on payday night again;
Blew it all with the fools you call your friends;
I've heard all your stories...I know they're not true.
Nobody held a gun on you...
So don't you come hoem cryin' to me...
Lookin' for some sympathy...
Chorus: It's time we got a couple things straight.
I ain't your momma...I ain't your maid;
I've been cookin' and cleanin...
While you've been paintin' the town;
You think I ought to be waitin ' in my negligee...
When you waltz in here wantin' to play;
Well, I Ain't Gonna Take It...I Ain't Gonna Take it...
I Ain't Gonna Take it...layin' down.
Bridge: I took the money for the rent...
To keep 'em from towing your car;
I took you...for better or worse...
But you're worse than I took you for...
Chorus: It's time we got a couple things straight.
I ain't your momma...I ain't your maid;
I've been cookin' and cleanin...
While you've been paintin' the town;
You think I ought to be waitin ' in my negligee...
When you waltz in here wantin' to play;
Well, I Ain't Gonna Take It...I Ain't Gonna Take it...
I Ain't Gonna Take it...layin' down.
