[Verse 1]
I love my man, tell ya the reason why
He's got that certain kinda look in his eye
When I met him he was nice and sweet
Now he wants to steal like a cop on the beat
Lay down, dady, won't you take your rest
I call you through the night, why won't you do your best
[Refrain]
I'm askin' you why do you do me like you do
Double, double do love you
[Chorus]
Aw, take it slow and easy if you wanna get along with me
Take it slow and easy, easy as any man can me
I got one, two, three, four, five, six reason
Double-cross me, that's an act of treason
Take it slow and easy if you wanna get along with me
Now take it easy, "Good News"
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
Ah, the way you act you oughta be ashamed
You make the people think that you been insane
The kids are going hungry, wearing raggedy clothes
You run around town with a bunch of winos
Got up this morning, wouldn't eat a bite
Drinkin' that bad wine took your appetite
[Refrain]
I'm askin' you why do you do me like you do
Double, double do love you
[Chorus]
Aw, take it slow and easy if you wanna get along with me
Take it slow and easy, easy as any man can me
I got one, two, three, four, five, six reason
Double-cross me, that's an act of treason
Take it slow and easy if you wanna get along with me
[Outro]
If you wanna get along with me
I know you wanna get along with me so take it easy
But, take it
