Lonnie Johnson - You Can’t Give A Woman Everything She Needs ('29) lyrics

A woman ‘s got a good man, she wants everything she sees.

A woman ‘s got a good man, she wants everything she sees.

Soon as she think your money give out, then you and her can’t agree.

She don’t seem to care, anything but a rainy day.

She don’t seem to care, anything but a rainy day.

Soon as she get all of your money, then she starts to stayin’ away.

That’s the very reason why I’m a single man today.

That’s the very reason why I’m a single man today.

I ‘ad one of those same kind of women, but she watchin’ the roots in a cold, cold place.

I worked to make her happy, I worked sick or well.

I worked to make her happy, I worked sick or well.

But all a man can get out of women now, is a whole lots of hell.

Man, don’t try to give your woman everything she needs.

Man, don’t try to give your woman everything she needs.

Because I’ll be damned if you don’t make the sweat off in your baby’s ear.
