Understand Your Man

Don't call my name out your window, I'm leavin'

I won't even turn my head

Don't send your kin folk to give me no talkin'

I'll be gone like I said



You'd say the same ole things that you've been sayin' all along

Lay there in your bed and keep you mouth shut 'till I'm gone

Don't give me that old familiar, "cry n' cuss n' moan"

Understand Your Man (I'm tired of your bad mouthin')

Understand Your Man



You can give my other suit to the Salvation Army

And everything else I leave behind

I ain't takin' nothin' that'll slow down my travelin'

While I'm untangling my mind



I ain't gonna repeat what I said anymore

While I'm breathin' air that ain't been breathed before

I'll be as gone as a wild goose in winter

Then you'll Understand Your Man (meditate on it)

Understand Your Man (You hear me talkin, now?)

Understand Your Man
