Understand Your Man

Don't call my name out your window, I'm leavin'

I won't even turn my head

Don't send your kinfolks to give me no talkin'

I'll be gone, like I said

You would say the same old thing that you been sayin' all along

Lay there in your bed and keep your mouth shut till I'm gone

Don't give me that old familiar cry and cuss and moan

Understand your man

I'm tired of your bad-mouthin'

Understand your man

You can give my other suit to the Salvation Army

And everything else I leave behind

I ain't takin' nothin' that'll slow down my travelin'

While I'm untanglin' my mind

I ain't gonna repeat what I said anymore

While I'm breathin' air that ain't been breathed before

I'll be as gone as a wild goose in winter

Then you'll understand your man

Meditate on it

Understand your man

You hear me talkin', honey?

Understand your man

Remember what I told you

Understand your man

Understand
