Listen to my song, ladies, please take strictly understand
Listen to my song, ladies, please take strictly understand
Don't let no outside woman make no biscuits for your man
I'm going to give you all the lowdown, lowdown if I can
I'm going to give you all the lowdown, lowdown if I can
Why I'm a single woman today by letting other women feed my man
So the next daddy I get, I'm going to take him to the restaurant
So the next daddy I get, I'm going to take him to the restaurant
Ain't gonna have him going around eating biscuits, whoo, whoo, made up with your nasty hands
I just found out how come I can't keep a man
I just found out how come I can't keep a man
I don't get no one buddy, I have too many a-doggone friends
You don't mean me no good, just a grin when I come in
You don't mean me no good, just a grin when I come in
But if I catch you feeding my man, whoo, whoo, Lord, I'm going to the pen
__________
Note: in this song, as in many others, Minnie again uses food as metaphor. It is presumed that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach and that if you let another woman feed your man, you're going to lose him
