House in Order

you remember when you have to stay after school
And write on the board a hundred times
"I ain't doin' my homework, I ain't doin' my lesson"

(House!)
Give it up, give it up, give it
House in order
House in order

Yesterday I found an earring
you know damn well it wasn't mine
This morning I found a hair in your sink
The long stringy kind
Pardon me for misleading
But my papa don't raise no fools
And if you don't want to fail your lesson
you better stay after school

I think, I think you better
Get your house in order
Get your shoes on straight
Your tears can run like water
But they're just a little to little to late
House
you better get your house in order
Uh huh

See me call you on the phone
3 a.m. your line's engaged
See me wonderin' if U're all alone
See me go into a rage
Hear me knockin' on your window
Hear Muntana knee deep
Hear me tell the to of you to go to H-E double L
And if U're feelin' froggy leap!

I think, I think you better
Get your house in order
Get your shoes on straight
Your tears can run like water (Tears can run like water)
But they're just a little to little to late
House
Baby, get your house in order
House
Baby, get your house in order

Hear me knockin' on your window
you better... (Get your house in order)
(Baby, get your house in order)
Get your house in order

Don't mix me up with your money maker (Money maker)
I'd never work to keep you fat (Fat... no!)
I'd rather work for the undertaker
A dead man got more sense than you if you think that I'm gonna go for that

Better get your house in order (Get your house in order)
Better get your shoes on straight (Get your shoes on straight)
Your tears can run like water
But they're just a little to little to late
House in order
Better get your house in order (House in order)
House in order
House in order

Yeah
Blow it on me
Ooh, sounds right

Pardon me for misleadin'
But my papa didn't raise no fool
And if you don't want to fail your lesson
you better stay after school

I think, I think you better (I think you better)
Get your house in order
Get your shoes on straight
Your tears can run like water
But they're just a little to late, to late
House

(Get your house in order)
Get your, get your house in order
(Baby, get your house in order)
you better... (Get your house in order)
Get your shoes on straight
(Baby, get your house in order) {fade out}
you see, your tears don't mean, mean nothin'
(Baby, get your house in order)
Because your tears baby (Get your house in order)
Are way much to late (Get your house in order)
