Lyrics Trick Bag - The Meters

Trick Bag

Twelve o' clock at night, you walk out the door
You told me baby, you were going to the drug-store
Well, in my mind, I knew you were lying;
The drug-store closed at a quarter to nine
I say I saw you kissing Jimmy across the fence
I heard you telling Jimmy I ain’t got no sense
The way you’ve been acting is such a drag;
You done put me in a trick-bag
When I come home, start an argument
Just to keep you from asking where my voodoo went
Peep out the front door, I hear the back door slam
I peek out of my window, somebody’s taking it on the lam
I say I saw you kissing Jimmy across the fence
I heard you telling Jimmy I ain’t got no sense
The way you’ve been acting is such a drag;
You done put me in a trick-bag
We had a fight, then you got mad;
Got on the telephone, called your mom and dad
Dad said, «She's my daughter and I’m her pa
And you ain’t nothing but a son-in-law.»
I say I saw you kissing Jimmy across the fence
I heard you telling Jimmy I ain’t got no sense
The way you’ve been acting is such a drag;
You done put me in a trick-bag
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
