Millie Jackson - Leftovers chords
Start Jamming...
Phillip, now I know you said you're leaving, but can't we discuss this at all?
Look baby, there ain't nothing to discuss.
I mean, you know, we've been through this a thousand times.
Everything's been seen.
You're leaving because of your son, right?
That's right.
And because of your son, that's the reason you had your wife laying up here in my bed last week, right?
The neighbors told me when I went to Philadelphia she was here the whole weekend.
Now, now just tell me something.
You've been married to her, been shacking with me.
Who you feel you're cheating on?
Well, I don't feel like I'm cheating on nobody, ma'am.
You know, I'm just going on home.
[D] Wait a minute.
The [Bb] doorbell's ringing.
Let me get the bell.
[Dm] Well, do say right on time, Mrs.
Jodi [Bb] again.
What do you [Dm] want?
My husband.
Well, you're not getting him.
Oh, I'll take him with me.
[Bb] I know what you're going to take.
You're going to [Dm] take a good egg kicking if you don't get out of my house.
Well, I brought some [Bb] and I'm ready for yours.
[Dm] I guess you brought your kid too, huh?
Yes, I [D] did.
Well, listen, let me tell you [Bb] something.
I want both of y'all out of my house.
I don't want to see none of you no more.
And I want to tell you something further this time.
You understand [Dm] me?
I want to ask you something.
Tell me how [Bb] [Dm] do you feel?
[Bb] Knowing [Dm] he's my man.
[Bb] And the love he's [D] giving you.
[Dm] [Bb] Sweet and [Dm] secondhand.
Tell me, tell me, tell me now.
[Bb] Could [D] you lay there?
[Bb] Stressed out [D] in my bed.
[Bb] With my brand new [D] nightie on.
[Bb] Rollers in your [D] nappy hair.
[Dm] [Cm] Some girls ain't got no [Bb] pride at all.
No.
[Eb] Some are just downright dirty.
[A] Some are just [Bb] dogs.
[A] All you're [Dm] getting is my [Bb] leftovers.
[Dm] You're digging out of love I [Bb] done picked [Dm] over.
[Bb] You ought to leave my man alone.
[G] I love your [A] old [Bb] dick in the jar.
[A] It ain't been to [Dm] [Bb] bother me.
[Dm]
If the man give you a little bit of loving [Bb] sometimes.
[Dm]
Cause you see I know if he makes it good to [Bb] you.
[Dm]
It's me that soon is mine.
[Bb] [Dm] Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me now.
How [Bb] could [Dm] you forget girl?
[Bb] The man left [Dm] you for me.
And if [Bb] he ever [Dm] decides to do it to you.
It's out of [Dm] responsibility.
[Cm] I don't see how some folks could [Bb] be so dumb.
No.
[Eb] You got the nerve to think you're living good.
But all you're getting is [A] crumbs.
[Bb]
[A] All [Dm] you're getting is my [Bb] leftovers.

You see I done took [Bb] everything you had.
[Dm] All you're getting is my leftovers.
