HE HEARD ME ASKING MY HONEY FOR SOME LOVIN
HE LAUGHED AT ME WHEN SHE SAID NO
SHE SHOWED OFF FOR HIM, LIKE HE WAS AN AUDEINCE
I ASKED HIM JUST LEAVE
HE STOOD AND SAID NO
HE TOLD ME HE WAS FIXING TO MAKE MY WIFE HIS WOMAN
AND SHE DIDN'T KNOW OF THE PLAN
BUT HE COULD SEE WHY HE WISHED TO BE HER NEW MAN
HE TOLD ME I WAS A YELLOWBACK COWARD, WITH NO BACKBONE
SHE TOLD HIM TO GET HIS COAT
GRAB THE DOORHANDLE AND GONE
HE SMILED LIKE HE KNEW THE ENDING TO THE STORY
AND JUST WALKED AWAY
SHE TOLD ME I BET HE'LL BE BACK, ANTOTHER DAY
SHE WAS RIGHT TWO'S LATER THERE HE GO
HAIR SLICKED BACK AND PARTED
HE HAD FLOWERS STANDING AT THE DOOR
HE SAID HE WISHED TO DATE MY MISSUS
TAKE TO A MOVIE AND FOR A DRINK
I SAID HOLD UP BUDDYBOY
THIS KINDA STINK'S
SHE CALLED HIM BY HIS HOLD ENTIRE NAME
AND ASKED HIM TO LEAVE
TOLD HIM SHE WAS GONNA CALL GEMBO DUCTKINJARR
HE GRABBED HIS STUFF TO LEAVE
GEMBO AINT GOTTA COME OUT HERE
I NOSE WHEN I'M LICKED
GEMBO HAD JUDO LESSONS
HE'S PRETTY HANDY WITH THAT JUDO STICK
SHE SAID THAT RIGHT AND HE'S A FREIND OF MINE
HE GRABBED THE FLOWERS AND THE WINE
AND SAID I SEE YA'LL BEEN DOIN FINE
