[Verse 1]
It is strange to me, even though I will say
Men now days don't act wise at all
Men you don't know kicking in your stall
[Verse 2]
I'm gonna change my way of living, ain't gon' cry no more
I'm gonna change my way of living, ain't gon' cry no more
Gonna let some good man enter my back door
[Verse 3]
My daddy don't treat me good no more
My daddy don't treat me good no more
Let some good man enter my back door
[Verse 4]
Seems to me my daddy don't want me no more
It seems to me my daddy don't want me no more
You must remember, reap just what you sow
[Verse 5]
The first thing you know, it will be too late
The first thing you know, it will be too late
Because your frail mama going to give you the gate
[Verse 6]
Go easy when 'nother man's knocking on your door
Go easy, 'nother man's knocking on your door
It may be the ice man, papa, you sure don't know
Back Door Blues was written by J. Mayo Williams & Elzadie Robinson.
