Something Strange Is Going On

Something Strange Is Going On by Koko Taylor

From From The Heart Of A Woman (AL 4724)

Hey ya'all, something strange going on

My man ain't givin' me no lovin' when I come home

After a hard day's work, when I get to him something's always wrong

My dog starts barkin' at me

Kids always full of popcorn and candy

I guess I ain't in the right spot

Someone stole everything I got

Something strange going on in my house

Oh, yes it is

Something strange going on in my house

Oh, yes it is

(Solo)

Early one morning I reached out of bed for my shoes

Would you believe I picked up a strange pair nobody knows whose

Late last night layin' in bed, I heard a scratch

He said, "Now honey child, it's only the cat"

But people, let me tell you, I still have doubts

I ain't never heard a whispering cat

Early tomorrow morning

I'm gonna lay a heavy trap

I'm gonna play big bad bulldog

And catch that con two-legged cat

Something strange going on in my house

Oh, yes it is

Something strange going on in my house

Oh, yes it is

Every, every time I come home

I find cigarette butts in my ashtray

Brand I don't smoke

Dirty glasses in my sink

With lipstick stains all around

I looked in my bedroom

Found blonde hairs all over my pillow

Oh! Oh! Something strange going on in my home

Every time I come home

I got a different lock on my door

Every time I come home I got a different lock on my door

Oh! Oh!
