Listen hear baby, ain't gon' be yo' dog all my life
Because yo' other man tried to take my life

So what more can a man do?
I'd give up my job, lay down my money to you

Listen here baby you ain't treat me right
You don't do nothin' but clown 'n fight
You know I love you don't care what you do
I'm gettin' tired of clownin' with you

What more can a man do?
Give up my job, lay down my money to you

You go out tonight no tellin' what I'll do
I'm gettin' tired of worryin' over you
What more can a man do?
I'll give up my job, lay down my money to you

'Now play at that girl'

(guitar & instrumental)

Now you know mama
I'm gettin' tired, gettin tired, gettin' tired
You're in St. Louis all disguised
Cried last night an night befo'
I leave you this time I won't have to cry no mo'

What more can a man do?
I'll give up my job, lay down my money to you

So bye-bye baby, I'm leavin' you now
I know you don't mean no good, no how
You did ev'rything a woman could do
You know about that, than I am through with you

What more can a man do?
I'll give up my job, lay down my money to you.
