Well, I asks you, woman
Where did you stay last night?
You said, it was none a-my business
Just isn’t treatin’me right'
You got to step back
Back a little too, fast
You got to get back
I know you can’t last
You got to step back, baby
So I can get a long wit’you, now
(harmonica)
Now, an tell me, baby
What do you tryin’to do?
You tryin’to love me Some other man, too
You got to step back, woman
A little too, fast
I know you can’t last
You got to step back, woman
So I can get along wit’you, now
(harmonica)
Well, now look-a-here woman
I got somethin’that you can’t do You can’t love me An some other man, too
You got to step back, woman
A little too, fast
You got to get back
I know you can’t last
You got to tell me, baby
So I can get along wit’you, now
(harmonica)
Well now, look-a-here, baby
Ain’t gonna be your dog, no mo'
You try to fool me, baby
Like you did a long time ago
You got to step back, woman
A little too, fast
You got to get back
I know you can’t last
You got to step back, woman
So I can get along wit’you
(harmonica)
Now baby, ain’t but the one thing
Really give me the blues
When I ain’t got no bottom
On my last pair-a-shoes
You got to step back, woman
A little too, fast
You got to get back
I know you can’t last
Now you got to tell me, baby
So I can get along wit’you
