You Ain'T Getting Jack

You Ain't Gettin Jack!



You wanted my heart, soul
On Layaway...
That ain't gonna get
Jack.
You can't afford the full
Price of Love? 
You ain't gonna get little
By little...Jack! 
And, uh, just a thought...
How many other Layaways
Are you checking on...? 
Mr. Jack be Nimble, 
Mr. Jack be Quick, 
Fixin to get your ass
Singed
By Love's flaming
Candlestick...
Don't knock, knock, knock...
Cause I'm gone, gone, gone.
