Safety Mama |
| Let me tell you how and why what no-good man done to me He called me pretty, young and wild, after that he let me be He’d taken advantage of my mouth, and that you understand |
| So, wait a while, show you, chile, just how to treat a no-good man |
| Make him stay at home, wash and iron, |
| Tell all the neighbors he done lost his mind |
| Give your house rent shake |
| On Saturday night |
| Monday morning you’ll hold collectors good and tight |
| You see a man you really like |
| Let him bite that monkey, brother, in his back |
| When his cruel heart turn, his love breaks down |
| Hold him where you got him make him stay in town, |
| 'cause I’m a safety woman, lookin' for a safety man |
| Make him stay at home, help me wash and iron, |
| The neighbors know he done lost his mind |
| I give a house rent shake on Saturday night |
| Monday morning I held collectors good and tight |
| I seen a man I really like |
| I let him bite that monkey, brother, smack in his back |
| When his cruel heart turn, his love breaks down |
| I hold it where I had it and he stayed in town, |
| I’m a safety woman, and I had to have a safety man |
| I ain’t good lookin', I’m built for speed |
| I’ve got ev’rything a pigmeat needs |
| 'Cause I’m a safety woman, lookin' for a safety man |
