She's Got Papers on Me

Let me tell you somethin', Mr. Look So Good

(She's got papers on me)

From now on, this house is where you used to live

My, my, my, don't we look pretty in that suit my money bought?

You better come on downstairs and have a seat

(She's got papers on me)

But don't you get too comfortable now

'Cause you won't be here that long

Now I'm not sure, I'm not exactly sure about what you're doin'

But I know you're doin' somethin'

(She's got papers on me)

And I gave you the best years of my life

Tryin' to be a good mother and a good wife

I made you what you are, you hear me?

I paid the house notes, I put you through school

(She's got papers on me)

I paid for that pretty car you ride and your woman

Or real men, ride in

Now if I can't be number one, I will not be number two

Unless I wanna be

(She's got papers on me)

And right now I'm in no mood to be number two

That's right, I got papers on you

And you do understand, my dear

That you must pay me to be free

That's what I said, you're gonna pay me

For my years and my tears and all my wasted years

(She's got papers on me)

And I know bein' with me hurts you

And I mean, you don't dig me anymore

But I'm hurtin' too, and you can tell that dizzy broad

You know, the one you singin' about

The Miss Sweet Little Thing that's always on your mind

(She's got papers on me)

That I'm not lettin' you out of this unless you buy me out

I'm not goin' through no more hard times or bad times

'Cause I can do bad all by myself

All by myself

Yeah, I got papers on you

(She's got papers on me)

But now I'm throwin' 'em in the trash can of my memory

Now take your little albums and your little raggedy component set

That never worked and you can scat

You hear me?

(She's got papers on me)

Hmm, just used my life up, used my body up

Used all my time up

Boy, I don't know what to say about you
