I been lookin for my old man
And look around over there
Go back on the river and sit right down
That man keep a worryin' poor me
I'm gonna jump overboard and drown
He come sit down right beside me
He said: "Would be good, Mama
If you just come with me"
What man like a woman with a sassy child
I won't have to ask him no questions
Man, because he knows the reason why
Try to find me somethin' new
Meet a man with a Cadillac
Whoah man, and plenty money too
'Cause I won't have nothin'
