Take Care of Your Homework

Ow!

Got to tell you the truth

I got to tell you the truth

Oh, Brother Jack

You're going with Sister Sadie

When you ought to be at home

With your old lady

But your heart is divided

In so many pieces

Trying to please them both

Never pleasing neither

Oh, Jack

Take it on back

Before your good thing is gone

Because the downfall of too many men

Is the upkeep of too many women

So, take care of your own work, brother

If you don't, somebody will

Oh yeah

You better take care of your own work, brother

If you don't, somebody will

Now wait a minute here

Oh, Brother Fred

How he used to run

Staying out all night

Leaving his homework undone

Now Fred's old lady

Took as much as she could stand

Then one night, the next door neighbor

Gave him a helping hand

Oh, brother

Take it on home

Before your good thing is gone

Because the downfall of too many men

Is the upkeep of too many women

So, take care of your own work, brother

If you don't, somebody will

Oh, you better hear me now

You better take care of your own work, brother

If you don't, somebody will

Listen to me, y'all

Take it on home

Get off the streets, y'all

Take it on home

Ow!

Alright

But, brother, let me tell you

These girls are getting hip

You can only slide so long

Before you make a slip

Take care of your own work, brother

If you don't, somebody will

Oh, hear me now, hear me now, hear me now

You better take care of your own work, brother

If you don't, somebody will
