[Bb]
[Bb] Don't make me pay for his mistakes, baby.
He's the one who did you wrong.
[Eb] Yes, don't make me pay for his mistakes, baby.
He's the one [Bb] who did you wrong.
[F] Well, he's the one who gave you six babies, [Eb] and I'm the one who tried [Bb] to give them a home.
Yes, I am.
I said, I'm tired of you telling me, baby, about how your man did you wrong,
about how you used to take your welfare check and leave the kids out at home.
[Eb] But I'm the one that's working.
[Ab] I'm the one trying [Bb] to give them a home.
Yes, [F] you know I'm the one who's going to love you, baby.
[Eb] I'm the one who's going to [Bb] give them a home.
Oh, yes, I am.
I said, I don't understand what make a good woman treat a man so bad.
She'd take a no good man and give him everything she had.
She'll reach back in the cookie jar and give him every bag,
and let the kid run around home with sleeping and crying.
