[Verses 1]
Well, no more slipping and dodging around with you
No more slipping and dodging around with you
If you want to be my baby, you know what you have to do
[Verse 2]
Life is like a card game, always take a chance
Life is like a card game, always take a chance
Well there's no money, honey it ain't no romance
[Chorus]
You gotta pack fair and square, baby don't try to give me the air
You gotta pack fair and square, baby don't try to give me the air
Well, when you're around me, baby try to treat me fair
[Verse 3]
Well looka here woman now tell me what you're gonna do
Now looka here woman now tell me what you're gonna do
I'm a-getting sick and tired of worrying over you
[Chorus]
You gotta pack fair and square, baby don't try to give me the air
You have to pack fair and square, baby don't try to give me the air
Well, when you're around me, baby try to treat me fair
[Saxophone solo]
[Verse 4]
No one to love me, no one to call my own
Well, no one to love me, no one to call my own
From now on darling, it seems I'm gonna leave you alone
[Chorus]
Well, you gotta pack fair and square, baby don't try to give me the air
You gotta pack fair and square, baby don't try to give me the air
Well, when you're around me, baby gotta treat me fair
