Miss Stella Brown
I’ve got something I wanna say to you now
Miss Stella Brown
I’ve got something I wanna say to you
No, it ain’t about none-a yo' bad treatment
I just wanna warn you 'bout the way you do now
Miss Stella, I’ve got yo' picture
I wants to always keep it in a frame, now
Miss Stella, I’ve got yo' picture
I wants to always keep it in a frame, now
So when you are dead an gone
I will be lookin' at you just the same
Don’t stay out late at night, now
Miss Stella, please don’t run around
Don’t stay out late at night, now
Miss Stella, ple-eease don’t run around
Now, because I’m scared some a-these mean men
They may wanna knock my baby down
(instrumental — all)
I’m going to buy you an Elgin wristwatch, now
And I will even buy you a diamond ring
I’m going to buy you an Elgin wristwatch
And I will even buy you a diamond ring, now
I’m going to make yo' life happy for you
I will buy you almost anything.
