And don't you be no clown
She gotta pay the rent
I'm gonna do the same thing
You might think I'm unfair
I want you to hand it to me smilin'
I'm gonna do the same thing
I made up my mind baby
Yes I'm gonna do the same thing
I'm not tryin' to be no pimp
If this is the way life has gotta be
Till I, I really don't care
The same thing they been doing to me
If this is the way life has gotta be
She gotta make me think she loves me
And sleep in another room
Now when I ask for some money
I made up my mind
I want you to hand it to me smilin'
By staying in her place
Now that might sound cold to ya baby
The same thing they been doing to me
She gotta fill up my car every day
And don't you have no frown
But I've been hurt so many times
I made up my mind baby
If this is the way life has gotta be
And give me account of every dime she spend
To go out on the town
And when I ask her for some money
To go out on the town
I just don't intend to work to hard
I won't have to buy the groceries
So she won't be snorin' in my face
