If You Don’t Want The Man (Don’t Take The Money)

[Verse 1]
This is a new day and time we're living in
Things ain't like, ain't nothin' like they used to be
You've got to give up something, get something, hey yeah
'Cause ain't nobody givin' nobody nothin' for free
Now some women will take all a man's money, Lord
But she can't stand for him to put his hands on her, ooh Lord
And they got some men who will make love all night to a woman, yeah
When he knows deep down in his heart that he don't want her, Lord now

[Chorus]
So if you don't the man, girls
Don't take the money
If you don't want the woman, fellas
Don't take the honеy
Because just as sure as you takе it
All of your life you gon' be obligated, yeah

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah
Woo, yeah, hey-hey yeah
Hey, yeah
Oh Lord, yeah, yeah
Woo

[Verse 2]
A lot of people are out lookin' for something for nothing
And will sleep, oh, with a whole lot of lovers and call it love
If you know of somebody that fits this description, oh Lord
You know that person is very easily taken advantage of, oh Lord
Some women will accept all kind of favors from a man
But when he say "Baby, when can I see you?"
She'll say "Oh, one of these days", hey
And some men will sleep every of the night of the week
With a woman, ooh Lord
But when she say "Baby, let's get married"
He'll run the other way, oh Lord

[Chorus]
So if you don't the man, girls
Don't take the money
If you don't want the woman, don't take the honey
'Cause just as sure as you take it
All of your life you gon' be obligated

[Outro]
Don't take, don't take the money
You don't want the woman, fellas
Don't take the honey, yeah
If you don't the man, girls
Huh, don't take the money, yeah
You don't want the woman, fellas
Don't the take the honey, yeah
