Understand Your Man

Well don't call my name out your window I'm leavin'

I won't ever turn my head

Don't send your kinfolks to give me no talkin'

I'll be gone like I said

You'd say the same old things that you've been saying all along

Lay there in bed and keep your mouth shut

Till I’m gone.

Don't give me that old familiar "cry n' cuss n' groan"

Understand your man

Tidy your bad-mouthin'

Understand your man

You can give my other suits to the Salvation Army

And anything else I leave behind

I ain't takin' nothin' that'll slow down my travelin'

While I'm untanglin' my mind

I ain't gonna repeat what I've said anymore

While I'm breathing air that ain't been breathed before

I'll be as gone as a wild goose in winter

Then you'll understand your man

You hear me talkin' honey

Understand your man

Remember what I tell you

Understand your man
