[Verse 1]
Day is breakin' in
And I, I know I'm wrong (I know I'm wrong)
It's not right for a woman to spend the night away from home, no
(I know it's wrong)
Again I'll try (I'll try), try to make him understand
That one night night with you is worth takin' whatever I have comin'
[Chorus]
It's worth a whippin' to spend just one hour with you
Baby, baby
It's worth a whippin' to spend just one hour with you
Baby
[Verse 2]
For this love that we been makin'
I-I-I-I sure don't feel no shame
(I know it's wrong)
I can't give up what we been takin'
Just 'cause I got another man waitin'
(He's not so strong)
Oh, I've tried to leave him (I tried)
Byt he won't let me go
Every time he threatens me he makes me love you a little bit more
(Love you, love you)
[Chorus]
It's worth a whippin' to spend just one hour with you, yeah
It's worth a whippin' to spend just one hour with you
(It's worth a whippin')
Baby
[Bridge]
He says he needs me as bad as I need you
Please don't tell him, what can I do
But feel sorry for him, and keep right on lovin' you
(Sorry, sorry)
[Chorus]
It's worth a whippin' to spend just one hour with you
It's worth a whippin'
It’s Worth a Whippin’ was written by Bettye Crutcher.
It’s Worth a Whippin’ was produced by Al Jackson Jr. & Jim Stewart.
