Understand Your Man

Don’t call my name out your window I’m leaving

I won’t even turn my head

Don’t send your kin folks to give me no talking

I’ll be gone like I said

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

Lay there in your bed and keep your mouth shut ’til I’m gone

Don’t give me that old familiar crying cussing moan

Understand your man  I’m tired of your badmouthing

Understand your man

You can give my other suits to the Salvation Army

And everything else I leave behind

I ain’t taking nothing that’ll slow down my traveling

While I’m untangling my mind

I ain’t gonna repeat what I 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  meditate on it

Understand your man you hear me talking

Understand your man remember what I told ya

Understand your man
