I can tell pretty mama I been wasting time
Well, you don't really love me
You just want me for what I am
But you best treat me right, woman
Gonna lose your money man
[Verse 2]

Well, you had it made in the shade, baby
Don't let that tree fall down on you
[Verse 3]

Don't let that tree fall down on you
Well, you had it made in the shade, sugar
Don't let that tree fall down on you
