She's up early in the morning, down, talking about what your man did last night.
Cause she wouldn't be worried about what your man did if she had a whole thing up her side.
Now, so little plans keep you fighting your man, holding back the good and the bad.
But when you throw him out, Lord [Bb]
knows, [C] you'll have him [Bb] for his feet and [G] the ground.

She's a leader of the grapevines, always on time.
Spreads love and gossip around.
She'll try to use the one that she's talking to, to put the next one down.
Tell you to watch me, and me to watch you.
But try to stay with your loving man.
You can be damn sure she'll try to steal him both.
[C] But ever, [Bb] she [G] got a chance.
