I Done Got Wise

There just got to be a change
Whoah, i made up my mind
Baby, there's just got to be a change
Oh, i think you're cheatin' on me baby
Oh, because you been actin' too strange
When i leave home early in the mornin' you're smilin' baby
And your face is never sad
Oh, when i leave home early in the mornin' mama
Your face is never sad
Yes, but when i have the day off and stay at home
Oh, i do believe it makes you mad
Oh, i know you think you're smart baby
And you think you're puttin' something over on me
Oh, i know you think you're smart baby
And you think you're puttin' something over on me
Oh, but i done got wise to you baby
And i ain't the fool that i used to be
