Understand Your Man

[Intro]
Ooh, here we go
One, two
One, two, three

[Verse 1]
Oh, don't call my name out your window when I'm leaving
'Cause I won't even turn my head
And don't send your kinfolk to give me no talking
'Cause I'll be gone, just like I said
You keep sayin' the same ol' things you've be saying all along
Lie there in your bed and keep your mouth shut 'til I'm gone
Don't give me that old familiar cry and cuss and moan

[Chorus]
Understand your man, I'm tired of your bad mouthing
Understand your man

[Verse 2]
Oh, you can give my other suit to the Salvation Army
And everything else I leave behind
No, I ain't taking nothing that'll slow down my traveling
While I'm untangling my mind
Oh, I ain't gonna repeat what I said anymore
While I'm breathing air that ain't been breathed before
I'll be as gone as a wild goose in winter

[Chorus]
Then you'll understand your man, meditate on it
Understand your man, you hear me talking, honey?
Understand your man, remember what I told you
Understand your man
