[Verse 1]
Your hair all wrinkled and
You're full of sweat yo'
Underskirt is wringing wet
You been
Doing something wrong
Doing something wrong
Been doin' somethin'
I can tell by the way you smell
[Verse 2]
You show your linen to any man and
That's something mama that I just can't stand
You is
Doing something wrong
Doing something wrong
Been doin' somethin'
I can tell by the way you smell
[Verse 3]
Here you come in here walkin' just like a goose
Look like somebody just turned you loose
You been
Doing something wrong
Doing something wrong
Been doin' somethin'
I can tell by the way you smell
[Piano Solo]
[Verse 4]
'Round here mama just look at Kris, she got her
Hand in her toodle up to her wrist
She been
Doing something wrong
Doing something wrong
Been doin' somethin'
I can tell by the way she smells
[Verse 6]
Mama and Papa's in the back there trying to call up [?]
Papa ain't ready so help me God he been
Doing something wrong
Doing something wrong
Been doin' somethin'
I can tell by the way they smell
[Piano Solo]
[Verse 7]
He got the motion and she got the swing just
Look at Papa out there on that thing
Doing something wrong
Doing something wrong
Been doin' somethin'
I can tell by the way they smell
[Piano Solo]
