Come on
this morning,
my baby,
she treated me like dirt
Just because I had lipstick on my shirt
She looked at me, she made a nasty crack
I said, woman, please get off of my back
I stay mad
Well, yeah, I stay mad
I stay mad, you can see
I stay mad as any man can be
I got the meanest woman
you've ever seen
Now in the morning
she cooked me turnip greens
Now in the evening
she cooked me toast and grit
She said, eat that fella,
cause that's all you gon' get
I stay mad
Oh yeah, I stay mad
I stay mad, you can see
I stay mad as any man can be
I have to argue every night and day
This kind of love can't go on this way
Tell me what I'm gonna do
But what I'm gonna say, now that woman,
she fat -mouthed, wasn't it,
and fat -mouthed clay
Now last night I spilled
some milk on the floor
She said I had to pack my rags and go
She said, in this house you go by my system
I said, if you don't get off my back,
woman,
you're gonna think you're in the rain
with Sonny Lister
I stay mad
Whoa, yeah, I stay mad
I stay mad, you can see,
I stay mad as any man can be
I have to honor every night and day
This kind of love can't go on this way
Tell me what I'm gonna do,
what I'm gonna say
Every time I sweep the floor,
I have to sweep it her way
The other night,
I spilled some milk on the floor.
She said I had to pack my rags and go.
She yelled at me, but I yelled back.
I said, I done told you a million times,
what about those nasty cracks?
I stay mad.
Oh, yeah, I stay mad.
I stay mad, you can see.
As dead man as any man can be
