Man I opened that door, got in my car
I knew to escape I had to go far
My woman done hit me with an iron bar
She was playin’ her hand, with another man
I mean, she was all sugar and spice in bed
Till that morning she kicked me in the head
“You’re no man” was all she said
The sugar’s not nice, and pepper in the spice
We’d met that day down by the river
And when I saw her I went all a shiver
When she kissed me my legs’d start t’quiver
But now she’s gone, I just have this song
I’s a good man, I gave her all my money
And she’d say “I love you honey”
But just when I feel my heart go all funny
She says she’ll visit mother, just to see the other
When she was with me, I did all I could
But she left, I guess I knew she would
I’ll find someone else, I know I should
But when I phone, there’s no one home
She said, “He loves me more,
And to me, you’re just a bore.”
With these words she slammed the door
Man I got in my car, I just had to go far
Cruisin down the highway, hittin’ the ton
My woman done took off, my ex hon’
At the time I thought I’d won
But all she could say, was show me the way
