(Girls, I wanna tell you about these sweet men, these men goin' around here tryin' to play cute. I'm hard on you boys, yes sir!)
I fell in love with a sweet man once
He said he loved me too
He said if I'd run away with him
What nice things he would do
I'd travel around from town to town
How happy I would feel
But don't you know he would not work
Girls, take this tip from me
Get a working man when you marry
And let all these sweet men be
Child, it takes money to run a business
And with me, I know, you girls will agree
There's one thing about this married life
That these young girls have got to know
Say, if a sweet man enter your front gate
Turn out your light and lock your door
Yes, get a working man when you marry
Let all these pinchbacks be
Child, it takes money to run a business
And with me, I know, you girls will agree
I fell in love with a sweet man once
He said he loved me too
He said if I'd run away with him
What nice things he would do
I'd travel around from town to town
How happy I would feel
But don't you know he would not work
Girls, take this tip from me
Get a working man when you marry
And let all these sweet men be
Child, it takes money to run a business
And with me, I know, you girls will agree
There's one thing about this married life
That these young girls have got to know
Say, if a sweet man enter your front gate
Turn out your light and lock your door
Yes, get a working man when you marry
Let all these pinchbacks be
Child, it takes money to run a business
And with me, I know, you girls will agree
