Understand Your Man

(album: The Easy Way - 1965)

Don't call my name out your window
I'm leaving I won't even turn my head
Don't send your kinfolks to give me no talking
I'll be gone like I said

You'd say the same old things you been saying all along
Lay there in your bed keep your mouth shot till I'm gone
Don't give me that old familiar crying, cussing, moan
Understand your man, tidy your bad mouth and understand your man

You can give my other suits to the Salvation Army
And everything else I leave behind
I ain't taking nothing that'll slow down my traveling
While I'm untangling my mind

I ain't going to repare what I said anymore
While I'm breathing air that ain't been breathed before
I'll be as gone as a wild goose in winter
Then you'll understand your man

Better try to understand your man
Look out, understand your man
Uh huh, understand your man...
