Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ya had plenty money nineteen.. twenty two
You let other women make a fool of you

Why don't you do right...
Like some other men do
Get outta here and
Get me some money too
Ya sit around wond'ring what it's, all about
You ain't got no money they gonna, toss you out

Why don't you do right..
Like some other men do..
Honey get outta here and
Get me some money too

If you had prepared twenty, years ago
You wouldn't be wand'rin' now from, door to do'

Why don't you do right..
Like some other men do..
Baby get outta here and
Get me some money too
Woo woo woo

I fell for your jivin' an' I, took you in
Now all ya got ta offer me's a, drink o' gin

Why don't you do right..
Like some other men do..
Oh get outta here and
Get me some money too

Ow ow..
Ya gotta do right...
Like some other men do...
Why don't you do right...
Like some other men do...

Ya gotta do right do right do right...
Ya gotta do right do right do right...
You've gotta do...... right...
Like some other men do..

Ya gotta, get outta here and
Get me some money.....
