Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'ma leave you, woman
Before I commit a crime
I'ma leave you, woman
Before I commit a crime
You tried so hard to kill me
But woman, it just was not my time
[Verse 2]
You put poison in my coffee
Instead of milk or cream
You put poison in my coffee
Instead of milk or cream
That's the meanest woman
That I ever seen
[Verse 3]
You mixed my drinks
With a can of red devil lye
You mixed my drink
With a can of red devil lye
Then you sit back and watch me
Hoping that I would die
[Verse 4]
I'ma leave you, woman
Before I commit a crime
I'ma leave you, woman
Before I commit a crime
You tried so hard to kill me
Woman, it just was not my time
