Ladies, if your man ain't putting in work
Well, I think you better listen
Girl, turn up your radio, oh, oh, ooh
Take me to the club when you're with your friends
Compliments, affection and passion
And every single night in the bedroom
Oh, yeah, hell yeah, you know
Whatever it took to gettin' me, boy
Oh, you gotta keep it up to keep me around
Whatever it took to gettin' me, boy
Well, you know, you got to double up now
Because I'm 'bout to leave you
For a man that's doing all the things you used to do
Yeah, I'm 'bout to leave you
For somebody that'll do a whole lot better than you
I'm 'bout to leave, leave, leave you
Boy, I'm 'bout to leave, leave, leave you
Cry together, laugh together, share the same dreams
Hold me, protect me, respect me
Pick my mama up from Sunday school, you used to do it
Whatever it took to gettin' me, boy
Oh, you gotta keep it up to keep me around
Whatever it took to gettin' me, boy
Well, you know, you got to double up now
Because I'm 'bout to leave you
For a man that's doing all the things you used to do
Yeah, I'm 'bout to leave you
For somebody that'll do a whole lot better than you
I'm 'bout to leave, leave, leave you
Boy, I'm 'bout to leave, leave, leave you
You used to write me sweet poems
Leave 'em right at my front door
Giving me back rubs even when I didn't ask for 'em
You bathed me, sing to me, all the little things for me
And that's what made me fall in love with you
Because I'm 'bout to leave you
For a man that's doing all the things you used to do
Yeah, I'm 'bout to leave you
For somebody that'll do a whole lot better than you
I'm 'bout to leave, leave, leave you
I'm 'bout to leave, leave, leave you
I put this on my mama, you keep doing the same thing, huh
Silence gonna be your best friend
And this house gonna be so cold without me here, oh
You ain't gotta worry no more
I'm packing up my bags and I'm out the front door
Bye, bye, bye, bye-de-eye
