She's Got Papers on Me

Five a.m. is the hour

And we just took a shower

Once again I'm headin' home

But I'm satisfied, mmm, to the bone

Like so many times before

You had me beggin' for more

Now I'm runnin' home to her

When it's you I prefer

She's got papers on me

She's got papers on me

And I'm gettin' tired of sneakin' in

Lyin' 'bout where I've been

How long can this go on

Pretendin' to love someone who just don't turn me on

And every time I taste your sweet, sweet lips

I make up my mind to abandon the ship

And man, oh, man, she's crampin' my style

I look in her face and see your sweet smile, but

She's got papers on me

She's got papers on me, oh

Oh, sometimes I wonder what she is getting out of it

You've taken every little bit

You're gettin' all my love and then some

Leavin' her just the crumbs

And life it isn't like it was

Doesn't she know it's you that I love

Girl, you're more than just some broad I wine and dine

You're the sweet little thing, the sweet little thing

The sweet little thing that's always on my mind

Always on my mind

Girl, you're always, always, always, always on my mind

But she's got these papers on me

And she won't set me free

I never should have kept the game

But I found out about you too late

What am I gonna do about that, baby

Oh, yeah, yeah, babe

Well, well, well, what have we here

I know you thought I was all the way on my job by now

Well, I forgot my sweater and I'm on my way back

And I started to thinkin'

You sure been actin' strange lately

And what is this I hear when I walk up to my bathroom door

You singin' 'bout some other woman

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

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
