You’re Gonna Thank Me, Woman

Yeah, I made up my mind a long time ago
That you'd be my woman and stand by me
And when I make up my mind about somethin'
That's the way it's got to be
Look here, girl
Got something I wanna put on your mind
While I got some time
Put it somewhere so you won't forget it
I ain't repeatin' this no more, woo

I'm gonna love you when you're good
Chastise you when you're bad
You might not like it now years from the day

You're gonna thank me, woman yeah, you
You're gonna thank me, woman
You wanna make a bet?
You're gonna thank me, woman
So you won't forget
You're gonna thank me, woman woo

Dun dun da dun-bun, da da da!
Dun dun da dun dun, da da da!
Dun dun da dun dun, da da da!
Dun dun da dun dun, hmm!

No, I know we got it
It ain't gon' never die
Shucks, we ain't foolin' nobody
Now we can play around with a lot of things
But true love you just can't hide it
Look here again
Got somethin' I want you to know
Gonna say it real slow
'Cause I ain't repeatin' this
Here stuff no more woo, Lord

I'm gonna love you when you're good
Chastise you when you're bad, yep
You might not like it now years from the day

You're gonna thank me, woman yeah, you
You're gonna thank me, woman yeah, you
You're gonna thank me, woman yeah, you
You're gonna thank me, woman yeah

(You're gonna thank me, woman)
You might as well play it straight with me
Baby (You're gonna thank me, woman)
Cut out all that tricker-ation
(You're gonna thank me, woman)
'Cause I'm on your side
(You're gonna thank me, woman)
You know we been doin' alright
(You're gonna thank me, woman)
Let's just sit around and sip
Coca-Colas all day long
(You're gonna thank me, woman) Look here
(You're gonna thank me, woman)
Bring them sweet lips close to mine
(You're gonna thank me, woman)
You know we been wastin'
Too much precious time

(You're gonna thank me, woman)
Lay and let's close your soul on it
(You're gonna thank me, woman)
