You’re Taking Up Another Man’s Place Mable John

You don't want me
But you don’t want nobody else to want me
What kind of man
What kind of man are you?

You don't need me
But you don't want nobody else to need me
What kind of thing
Are you trying to send me through?

If you’re not gonna take care of business
Then stop taking up space
'Cause you're taking up
Another man's place

You don't want me
To even go to the store alone
What kind of man
What kind of man are you?

You run over me
Just to answer the telephone
What kind of thing
Are you trying to send me through?

You keep me wanting
The one thing you never gave
Well, stop taking
Taking up another man's place
