Understand Your Man

Don't call my name out your window, i'm leavin'
I won't even turn my head
Don't send your kinfolks to give me no talkin'
I'll be gone, like i said
You'd say the same old thing that you been sayin' all along
Lay there in your bed, keep your mouth shut 'til i'm gone
Don't give me that old familiar cry 'n' cuss 'n' moan
Understand your man
I'm tired of your bad mouthin'
Understand your man

You can give my other suit to the salvation army
And ev'rything else i leave behind
I ain't takin' nothin that'll slow down my travelin'
While i'm untanglin' my mind
I ain't gonna repeat what i said anymore
While i'm breathin' air that ain't been breathed before
I'll be as gone as a wild goose in winter
Then you'll understand your man
Meditate on it
Understand your man
D'ya hear me talkin'
Understand your man
Remember what i told ya
Understand your man . . .
