Lyrics You Took My Man (04-16-46) - Ethel Waters

You Took My Man (04-16-46)

You’ve come to tell me something
You say I ought to know
That he don’t love me anymore and I’ll have to let him go
You say you’re gonna take him
But I don’t believe you can
Cause you ain’t woman enough to take my man
Women like you they’re a dime a dozen
You can buy 'em anywhere
For you to get to him I’d have to move over
And I’m gonna stand right here
It’ll be over my dead body so get out while you can
Cause you ain’t woman e-nough to take my man
Sometimes a man’s caught looking
At things that he don’t need
He took a second look at you but he’s in love with me
I don’t know where that leaves you
But I know where I stand
And you ain’t woman enough to take my man
Women like you they’re a dime a dozen
You can buy 'em anywhere
For you to get to him I’d have to move over
And I’m gonna stand right here
It’ll be over my dead body so get out while you can
Cause you ain’t woman e-nough to take my man
Cause you ain’t woman enough to take my man
