Lyrics for Song: Cheaper To Keep Her
Lyrics for Album: Superhits [1982]



You tied up, you better stay tied up

Cause it's cheaper to keep her, this is from T, who says

It's cheaper to keep her, it's cheaper to keep her



When your little girl makes you mad

And you get an attitude and pack your bags

Five little children that you're leavin' behind

Son, you're gonna pay some alimony or do some time



That's why it's cheaper to keep her (Help me say it, y'all)

It's cheaper to keep her (It's cheaper to keep her)

When you get through starin' that judge in the face

You're gonna want to cuss the whole human race



That's why it's cheaper to keep her (It's cheaper to keep her)

It's cheaper to keep her

(It's cheaper, it's cheaper, it's cheaper, it's cheaper)

(It's cheaper to keep her)



You didn't pay but two dollars to bring the little girl home

Now you're about to pay two thousand to leave her alone

You see another woman out there and you want to make a change

She ain't gonna want you 'cause you won't have a damn thing



That's why it's cheaper to keep her (Everybody Sing along with me)

It's cheaper to keep her (it's cheaper to keep her)

By the time you get through lookin' that judge in the face

You're gonna want to cuss the whole human race



That's why it's cheaper to keep her (It's cheaper to keep her)

It's cheaper to keep her (It's cheaper to keep her)

(It's cheaper, it's cheaper, it's cheaper, it's cheaper)

(It's cheaper to keep her)



I know you think the grass is greener

Way over on the other side

When that judge gives you that dirty look

You may as well put your money in mama's pocketbook



That's why it's cheaper to keep her (It's cheaper to keep her)

It costs too much to leave her alone, yeah (It's cheaper to keep her)

I know it's cheaper to keep her (It's cheaper to keep her)

'Cause you're gonna pay some alimony if you leave home

I tell y'all - it's cheaper to keep her

All the fellows I know are talkin' about it

It's cheaper to keep her, I gotta tell you
