[Verse 1]
Now I remember when you were tryin' to get me
You used every little trick that you knew
But just as soon as you knew that you had me
You started treatin' me like a worn-out shoe
[Chorus]
The same things that it took to get me
Are the same things it takes to keep me
So you just think back and see what you did
That's the same thing you got to do
You got to do, huh
You got to do it, heh, oh baby
[Verse 2]
I remember when you fixed yourself up for me
Because you said you're willin' to satisfy
But now you won't еven comb your hair, woman, huh
And if you do, you comb it enough to get thе high
Oh!
[Chorus]
But the same things it took to get me
Are the same things it takes to keep me
So just think back and see what you did
That's the same thing you got to do, huh
You got to do, little baby
Got to do it, oh baby
Listen
[Verse 3]
You just eat and eat all the time
And I warned you if you ever got fat
That I'd get my little one suit and I'll leave you
And go so far that I'll never come back
You say you eat this way, baby
You eatin' this way all because of me
But baby, I know better
You gettin' fat eatin' all them potatoes and peas, yeah
[Verse 4]
I remember when I used to hold you
I came home when my work was through
But that was a long time ago, huh
And now I can't get my arms around you, oh
[Chorus]
Same thing it took to get me
Are the same things it takes to keep me
So you just think back and see what you did
That's the same thing you got to do, heh, hey!
You got to do it, uh
You got to do it, yeah
You got to do it, yeah
You got to do it, yeah
You got to do it
[Outro]
You got to start doin' some push-aways, baby
You have got to push away from that table
When I met you, you was streamlined and everything
Now you done gained four, five pounds or, woo!
Good God, uh
Oh baby, woo!
Good god, uh
Yeah, baby
You got to do it, baby
Oh yeah, heh, woo!
Good God, uh
Oh baby
