You're talking 'bout your woman
I wish to God man that you could see mine
You're talking 'bout your woman
I wish to God that you could see mine
Every time the little girl start to loving
She bring eyesight to the blind
Lord, her daddy must been a millionaire
'Cause I can tell by the way she walk
Her daddy must been a millionaire
Because I can tell by the way she walk
Every time she start to loving
The deaf and dumb begin to talk
I remember one Friday morning
We was lying down across the bed
Man in the next room a-dying
Stopped dying and lift up his head, and said
Lord, ain't she pretty, and the whole state know she's fine
Every time she start to loving
she bring eyesight to the blind
Yes, I declare she's pretty and the whole state knows she's fine
Man, I declare she's pretty, God knows I declare she's fine
Every time she starts to loving
She brings eyesight to the blind

What'cha say baby
Thats what I thought
You're a no good heartbreaker
You're a liar, you're a cheat
And I don't know why
I let you do them things to me
My friends keep telling me, yeah,
That you ain't no good
Oh why
I'd leave you if I could
I guess I'm on tight
And I'm stuck like glue
Cause I ain't never
I ain't never
I ain't never, no, no
Loved a girl the way that I
I love you
Sometimes I know I thought
You would run outta fools
But I was so wrong
Ya got the one you'll never lose
The way you treat me is shame
How could you hurt me so bad
Ooh, baby you know that I'm
The best thing that you ever had
Kiss me once again
Don't you never never say we're through
'Cause I ain't never
Never
Never, no, no
Loved a girl the way that I
I love you
I can't sleep at night
And I can't eat a bite
And I guess I'll never be free
Since you got your hooks in me
I ain't never loved a woman like I love ya
I ain't never loved a girl
I ain't never loved a woman like I put my arm aroun' ya
Yeah never loved a girl
I never loved a woman like I love ya
I ain't never loved a girl
I never loved a girl

You gotta move
You gotta move
You gotta move
You gotta move
Oh, when my God gets ready
You gotta move
You gotta move
You may be high
You may be low
You may be rich, God
You may be poor
Brother, when the Lord get ready
You gotta move
You gotta move
You may be old
You may be young
You may be weak
Maybe high-strung
Brother, when the good Lord get ready
You gotta move
You gotta move
You see that woman
Who walks the street
You see that cop man
Who walks his beat
But when the Lord gets ready
You gotta move
You gotta move
Yeah I was hangin' with the Devil when we made a pact
I'm drinkin' welfare whiskey, smokin' food stamp crack
It was one part sour, two parts sweet
Three parts strong, and four parts weak
I would rather sit on a pumpkin
And have it all to myself
Then to be crowded on a velvet cushion
You may be blind
You cannot see
You may be deaf
It's all meant to be
But when the Lord get ready
You gotta move
You gotta move
You gotta move
You gotta move
You gotta move
You got to move
When the God get ready
You gotta move
You gotta
You gotta move
You gotta move
You gotta move

I never thought a first time love would ever last
How could a kiss like that knock me flat on my ass?
The burning bed
The rose is dead
And now I'm dancing with myself
Yeah, I'm missin' you
Just like you want me too
You made me trip into the grind
Now I can't get you off of my mind
Your sweet talkin' hip shakin' walkin' gonna blow a man away
Kiss butt, guess what even double-crossin' dogs have their day
So forget about
Regret about
You're right I ain't afraid to say
Yeah, I'm missing you
Just like you want me to
You made me trip into the grind
Now I can't get you off
And the more I try
Leads to the same old lie
You made me slip into the grind
Now I can't get you off
Of the cloud we was on
And now it's all gone
Tell me why, why, why, why
Why ain't I getting through
Ain't no lie that I
Tell me was it good, for you
Tell me what you want
Yeah, 'cause I'm missing you
Just like you knew I'd do
You made me trip into the grind
Now I can't get you off
And the moreI try
Leads to the same old why
You made me trip into the grind
Now I can't, can't, can't get you
Get you
Get you
Get you
Get you
Get you
Get you
Get you
Off of my mind
