Cheaper To Keep Her

If you're tied up

You'd better stay tied up

'Cause it's cheaper to keep her

This is from T services

It's cheaper to keep her

It's cheaper to keep her

When your little

Girl make you mad

And you get an attitude

And pack your bags

Five little children

That you're leaving behind

Son, you're gonna pay some

Alimony or do some time

That's why

It's cheaper to keep her

Help me say it, y'all

It's cheaper to keep her

(It's cheaper to keep her)

See, when you get through

Staring that judge in the face

You're gonna wanna cuss

The whole human race

That's why

It's cheaper to keep her

(It's cheaper to keep her)

(It's cheaper to keep her)

(It's cheaper, it's cheaper)

(It's cheaper, it's cheaper)

(It's cheaper to keep her)

You didn't pay but two dollars

To bring the little girl home

Now you're about to pay

Two thousand to leave her alone

You see another woman out there

And you wanna make a change

She ain't gonna want you cause

You won't have a damn thing

That's why it's cheaper to keep her

Everybody sing along with me

It's cheaper to keep her

(It's cheaper to keep her)

By the time you get through

Looking that judge in the face

You're gonna wanna cuss

The whole human race

That's why

It's cheaper to keep her

(It's cheaper to keep her)

Its cheaper to keep her

(It's cheaper to keep her)

(It's cheaper, it's cheaper)

(It's cheaper, it's cheaper)

(It's cheaper to keep her)

I know you think

The grass is greener

Way over on the other side

When that Judge give

You that dirty look

You may as well put your

Money in momma's pocketbook

That's why it's cheaper to keep her

(It's cheaper to keep her)

Cost too much to leave her alone, yeah

I know it's cheaper to keep her, yeah

(It's cheaper to keep her)

'Cause you gonna pay some

Alimony if you leave home

I tell y'all

It's cheaper to keep her

All the fellas know

What I'm talking bout

Don't you know

It's cheaper to stay at home

I gotta tell you

I'll bring you the message tonight

It's cheaper to keep her

Cheaper to keep her

Cheaper to keep her

Cheaper to keep her

She's gonna cause you too much

Log on to Top40db.

If you let her go, man

It's cheaper to keep her

You might as well put up

With your little arguments

And fussing and fighting

I am gonna tell you something tonight

I'll tell you, cheaper to keep her

Ain't it, man

Ain't it cheaper to

Keep her, ha yeah

By time you get through

Looking that judge in the face

You'll be lucky if you

Even have a place
