Lyrics
Papa, papa, you in a good man's way
Papa, papa, you in a good man's way
I can find one better than you any time of day
You ain't no good so you better haul your freight
You ain't no good, you better haul your freight
Mama wants the live wire, papa, you can take the gate
I'm a red-hot woman, just full of flamin' youth
I'm a red-hot woman, just full of flamin' youth
You can't call me, daddy, you no good, that's the truth
All my time I wasted havin' you to bother me
All my time I wasted havin' you to bother me
You give me the willingness, now I'm glad I'm free
I'm one woman, don't want no, no good man
Yes, I'm one woman, don't want no, no good man
You just like a worn-out-badly-be-neglected thing
Yo, you've done failed, all your peps done gone
Yo, you've done failed, all your peps done gone
Pick up that suitcase, man, and travel on
Writer(s): Spencer Williams
