[Verse 1]
Well, you're standing on the corner, flagging all the girls you see
Now do like I say and let those ladies be
You know that's wrong, man, you know that's wrong
And I'm just tryin' to tell you - that's how you got killed before
[Verse 2]
That girl you just met who got a big guy for a pal
Who'll put knots on your head for messing with his gal
So take it easy, man, let those women go
I'm just trying to tell you - that's how you got killed before
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Now, you wouldn't listen to me, you got two black eyes
That's what you get, man, for messing with men's wives
So take it easy, let those women go
I'm just trying to tell you - that's how you got killed before
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Now, you wouldn't listen to me, you got two black eyes
That's what you get, man, for messing with men's wives
So take it easy, let those women go
I'm just trying to tell you - that's how you got killed before
[Outro]
That's how you got killed before
That’s How You Got Killed Before was written by Dave Bartholomew.
