Don’t Count Your Chickens (Before They Hatch) |
Don’t count your chickens before they hatch |
No, no, no, you better treat me like a lady |
You ain’t got my lovin' yet |
Don’t count your chickens before they hatch |
No, no, no, you better treat me with respect |
Or my love you’ll never get |
Hey, Mr. Big Shot, what you putting down |
Lately when I need you, you’re nowhere to be found |
(What you putting down) |
I heard it through the grapevine, |
You’ve been cheatin' love |
'Cause what you see you ain’t got |
Until you’ll respect my love |
I ain’t no pushover |
I got a bird in the bushes, too |
Don’t be too over-confident |
That bird may not be you |
Don’t count your chickens before they hatch |
No, no, no, you better treat me like a lady |
You ain’t got my lovin' yet |
Don’t count your chickens before they hatch |
No, no, no, you better treat me with respect |
Or my love you’ll never get |
You’re gonna blow a good thing |
You think I’m under your thumb |
One day you’ll snap your finger, and I will fail to come |
(You weren’t the only one) |
You break to your men friends to make yourself look tall |
When I leave, they’ll laugh at you |
And on your knees you crawl |
I ain’t no pushover |
I got a bird in the bushes, too |
Don’t be too over-confident |
That bird may not be you |
Don’t count your chickens before they hatch |
No, no, no, you better treat me with respect |
Or my love you’ll never get |
Oh! |
Oh, oh, oh! |
You better treat me like a lady |
You better treat me like a lady |
Don’t count your chickens before they hatch |
No, no, no, you better treat me like a lady |
You ain’t got my lovin' yet |
Don’t count your chickens before they hatch |
No, no, no, you better treat me with respect |
Or my love you’ll never get |
