Understand Your Man

Don't call my name out your window, as I'm leavin'

'Cause I won't even turn my head

And don't send your kin folk to give me no dang talkin'

'Cause I'll be gone like I said

You'd can say the same old things

That you've been sayin' all along

Just lay there in your bed

And keep you mouth shut 'till I'm gone

No, don't give me that old familiar

Cry n' cuss n' moan

Understand your man

Oh, understand your man

Oh, party boys

You can give my other suit to the Salvation Army

And everything else I leave behind

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

While I untangle my mind

No, I ain't gonna repeat what I said anymore

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

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

Then you'll understand your man, go meditate on it

You'll understand your man, you hear me talkin', now?

Understand your man, remember I told you so

Understand your man

Oh

Understand your man

Understand your man

Understand your man

Understand your man

Understand your man
