Understand Your Man

Don't call my name out your window when I'm leavin'

I won't even turn my head

Don't sent your kinfolks to give me no talkin'

I'll be gone, like I said

You'd say the same old things that you be sayin' all along

Lay there in your bed, keep your mouth shut till I'm gone

And don't give me that old familiar

Cry and curse and moan

Understand your man

Meditate on it

Understand your man

And you can give my other suit to the Salvation Army

And anything else I leave behind

Ain't takin' nothin' that'll slow down my travelin'

While I'm untangled in my mind

And I ain't gonna repeat what I said anymore

While I am breathing air

That ain't man breathe before

I'll be as gone as a wild goose in winter

Then you'll understand your man

Hear me talkin' now honey

Understand your man

Understand your man

Meditate on it

Understand your man
