[F#] And Betty, I'm addressing this directly to you.
_ _ _ I know he may not be able to marry me.

_ _ [F#] _ And I don't mind being his woman on the [A#m] side.
[G#] _ _ I'm in love with him and he's in love with me.
And I ain't got no pride to let [F#] you be the one.
_ _ _ _ Always have the papers [C#] on hand.

[C#] _ [G#] _ _ _ _ [F#]
I'm not [C#] mad.
_ _ [F#] _
_ The reason why I'm always [C#] on his _ mind.
She [G#] loves him.
It's cause I give him what he needs.
And that's good loving all the time.
[Fm] _
[F#] _ _ And girl, he can't help but call out my name.
_ [G#] _ He's making love to you, I tell you.
He's doing it in vain.
I'll let [F#] you be the one. _ _
_ [G#] Always [C#] have the papers [Fm] on hand. _ _
While [G#] _ _ I'll be [F#] the one. _ _ _ _

[C#] [F#] Girl, _ _ _ _ she's [C#] got papers.
[G#] _ _
_ _ [F#] I'm not mad. _
She's got [C#] papers.
[G#] _ _
_ _ [F#] I'm not [C#] mad. _
_ [F#] _ _ [C#] [G#] You see, I've never been in position to give [F#] him any material things. _
_ _ [C#] But then I've [Fm] never demanded no promises, no [F#] papers, and no ring. _
_ _ [C#] See, while he was always [G#] home complaining and always [F#] demanding.
_ I was there always so very [C#] patient and [G#] understanding.
_ _ [F#] _ _ _
And ladies, you need to take [C#] heed to this [G#] advice.
And [A#m] think twice.
[F#] You see, every time your telephone rings and somebody hangs up, don't confuse [C#] that man.
[G#] I know that must have been your woman.
_ [F#] _ Because in my case, we had spent the entire weekend [C#] together, so there [Fm] was no need for me to call.
_ [F#] _ _ _
[C#] _ [F#] Yes, and I'm [C#] always on his [G#] mind.
Because I give him [F#] plenty loving all the time.
[C#] _ _ _ [F#] _ [C#] _ _
[G#] _ _ _ [F#] _ Yeah, dimples [C#] came and told me that you called [F#] me out of my [C#] name. _
[G#] And [F#] now that he's mine. _
I'm woman enough to accept the [C#] blame. _
[G#] _ _ _ [F#] _ You see, it's not so important for [C#] _
[G#] a woman to be [F#] married to a man on leave.
For it's more important to have [C#] the man's heart.
[G#] Which in my case, [F#] I had right from the start.
I ain't trying to be smart.
[C#] _ _
[G#] You _ [F#] _ _
see, every time he leaves me, [C#] you know, after we've made [G#] love.
Oh, I've been [F#] made love too. _
_ All the time because the old [C#] man ain't nothing else he can [G#] do.
God, he's only [F#] one man.
He don't see what he's trying to split the man into.
_ _ [C#] And you remember [G#] those last seven suits you bought and paid [F#] for?
Well, I've been seen with him in those [C#] suits.
Seven different [F#] places, seven [C#] different times, seven [Fm] different days.
And I'm not going to [F#] mention the seven different nights.
But that ain't none of your business.
[C#] _ _
[G#] _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ _ You know, and he [C#] always had a home [Fm] away from home with [F#] me.
So there ain't no need for him to get comfortable.
You was right.
[C#] _
[G#] You see, because I have [C#] his slippers, [F#] his bathrobe, and that component set that you told me to take [C#] with him when he left.
[G#] Child, that's in my bedroom [F#] and me and him make love by that every night.
_ _ _ [C#] _ [G#]
Look _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ _ girl, [C#] let me tell you one thing.
[G#] _ [F#] Wasn't it you that I bumped into when I was in the drug store?
Seemed to me everything [C#] on you was out of place.
[G#] You see, I didn't get him by [F#] wearing no war paint on my face.
_ I just give him what [C#] he wants [G#] when he wants.
_ And [F#] that's love. _
_ I know he can't [C#] help but call [G#] out my name.
_ _ [F#] _ I hope he don't make a mistake and call you me. I'm sorry.
[C#] _ [Fm] _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
Listen, there's one [C#] more [G#] important thing that I must leave with you.
[F#] Betty. _
That is whatever caused him to [C#] get free, he can get [G#] it from me.
