Taste And Try, Before You Buy

My mother told me

When I was young

Many people try

To con you son

You got to seperate

The truth from the lies

You got to taste and try

Before you buy

The army man says

Sign on for five

The army show you

A real man's life

You know I don't dig

That army jive

You got to taste and try

Before you buy

My woman looks at me

My woman says

Now pack your bags boy

And get out of my bed

Five long years

You still aint done me right

You got to taste and try

Before you buy

Now this is my life

It's the way I be

May not suit you

But it sure suits me

You got to live before you die

Taste and try

Before you buy
