Trick Bag

It was 12:00 o' clock at night--you walk out the door.

You told me baby--you were going to the drug-store.

Well, in my mind, I knew you were lying;

The drug-store closed at a quarter to nine.

I say I saw you kissing Jimmy across the fence,

I heard you telling Jimmy I ain't got no sense.

The way you've been acting is such a drag;

You done put me in a trick-bag.

When I come home, start an argument,

Just to keep me from asking where my voodoo went.

Peek out the front door--I hear the back door slam.

I peep out of my window--somebody's taking on the lam.

I say I saw you kissing Jimmy across the fence,

I heard you telling Jimmy I ain't got no sense.

The way you've been acting is such a drag;

You done put me in a trick-bag.

Oh hey yeah

Oh hey yeah

Oh hey yeah

Oh hey yeah

We had a fight, then you got mad;

Got on the telephone--called your mom and dad.

Dad said, "She's my daughter and I'm her pa,

And you ain't nothing but a son-in-law."

I say I saw you kissing Jimmy across the fence,

I heard you telling Jimmy I ain't got no sense.

The way you've been acting is such a drag;

You done put me in a trick-bag.

Oh hey yeah

Oh hey yeah

Oh hey yeah

Oh hey yeah

Oh hey yeah

Oh hey yeah

Oh hey yeah

Oh hey yeah
