Lyrics

Now you tell me that you love me, that don't mean a thing
Every time I see you, baby, you're on another man's wing
You always criticize me 'bout the things I do
You say I'm going crazy and it's all because of you
I got to rock a while, yes, I got to talk a while
I'm gonna rock a little while, talk a little while about you
Every time I see you, baby, you wanna start an argument
You say you need some money just to pay your rent
Now I gave you fifty dollars just a day ago
Now you in my face, just beggin' for some more
We got to rock a while, yeah, we got to talk a while
We gonna rock a while, baby, talk a little while about you
Ah, the sky is blue and the grass is green
I got some money, baby, you ain't never seen
I'm gonna pack my suitcase and I'm gonna hit the trail
It's gonna take a hundred dollar bill just to send me my mail
We gonna rock a while, we gonna talk a while
We gonna rock a while, baby, talk a little while about you, you
