I got to leave this woman

But i ain't got nowhere else to go

I got to leave this woman

I ain't got nowhere else to go

You see, she owns everything

Including the carpet on the floor

When i was givin' her my money

She treated me like i was b.b. king

Hey, when i was givin' her my money

She treated me like i was b.b. king

Now i ain't got no money left

Now she treats me

Like i'm not even a human bein'

I got to leave this woman

I can't take this kind of treatment no more

Got to leave this woman

I can't take this kind of treatment no more

I've got one big problem

I ain't got nowhere to go

Hey, all the pretty furniture she got

I even bought her a mink coat too

Yeah, all the furniture she got

I even bought her that mink coat too

Now that we've got a divorce

Tha's waht she put me through

I got to leave this woman

But i ain't got nowhere else to go

I got to leave this woman

Can't take this kind of treatment no more

She owns everything

Even the carpet on the floor
