Tell me what you gonna do now
Tell me what you gonna do
'Cause what you're wanting for your man
And he knows it's true
'Cause ain't nobody free
Hey Lordy, Lordy Mama
And bring a good man down
All around the neighborhood
They say, "You love to fuss and fight
Hanging on his arm", yeah yeah yeah
Is what he's wanting, too
When you love a man enough
They say, "You're mean and evil
And think that you're a woman
Get your nerves together, baby
That old fool's telling everybody
What you gonna do
To weather this old storm
Set it straight
They're spreading dirty rumors
All these years you loved him
And don't know what to do
Tell me what you gonna do now
And set the record straight
He's got another woman now
They say, "You ain't behind him
And just don't understand
And left you black and blue"
Let the whole round world know it wasn't you
"He's sick and tired of you"
Tell me what you gonna do
That's the reason that he's gone
Hey yeah
Hey yeah
But acting like a man"
They say, "He's left you all alone
You're bound to disagree
When he takes you on the town"
Hey yeah
'Cause ain't nobody perfect
Hey Lordy Mama
Hey Lordy Mama
And don't know how to treat him
What you gonna do now
That cause this bitter fate
