Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You say that it's over baby, Lord

You say that it's over now

But still you hang around me, come on

Won't you move over

[Verse 2]

You know that I need a man, honey Lord

You know that I need a man

But when I ask you to you just tell me

That maybe you can

[Verse 3]

Please dontcha do it to me babe, no!

Please dontcha do it to me baby

Either take this love I offer

Or honey let me be

[Verse 4]

I ain't quite a ready for walking, no no no no

I ain't quite a ready for walking

And whatcha gonna do with your life

Life all just dangling ?

[Verse 5]

Oh yeah, make up your mind, honey

You're playing with me, hey hey hey

Make up your mind, darling

You're playing with me, come on now!

Now either be my loving man

I said-a let me honey, let me be, yeah!

[Verse 6]

You say that it's over, baby, no

You say that it's over now

But still you hang around me, come on

Won't you move over

[Verse 7]

You know that I need a man, honey, I told you so

You know that I need a man

But when I ask you to you just tell me

That maybe you can

[Verse 8]

Hey! Please dontcha do it to me, babe, no!

Please dontcha do it to me baby

Either take this love I offer

Honey let me be

[Verse 9]

I said won't you, won't you let me be ?

Honey, you're teasing me

Yeah, you're playing with my heart, dear

I believe you're toying with my affections, honey

[Verse 10]

I can't take it no more baby

And furthermore, I don't intend to

I'm just tired of hanging from the end of a string, honey

You expect me to fight like a goddamned mule

Wah, wah, wah, wah, honey...
