You men won’t like it

When you hear this song

Do as I say and it may help you along

'Cause you got the wrong idea

Just as sure as you born

Don’t blame your woman

If things at home go wrong

You men got a habit

That you know is wrong

Stay out cheating on your woman

Maybe all night long

But you got the wrong idea

Just as sure as you born

Don’t blame your woman

If things at home go wrong

When the cat goes away

You know the mouse is gonna play

You know what I’m talkin' 'bout

That’s why you hear me say

Men, you got the wrong idea

Just as sure as you born

Don’t blame your woman

If things at home go wrong.
