I

The next woman I get 
She gotta have a job 
I'm not tryin' to be no pimp 
I just don't intend to work to hard 
I won't have to buy the groceries 
She gotta pay the rent 
She gotta fill up my car every day 
And give me account of every dime she spend 


I made up my mind 
If this is the way life has gotta be 
I'm gonna do the same thing 
The same thing they been doing to me 


She gotta make me think she loves me 
By staying in her place 
And sleep in another room 
So she won't be snorin' in my face 
And when I ask her for some money 
To go out on the town 
I want you to hand it to me smilin' 
And don't you have no frown 


I made up my mind baby 
If this is the way life has gotta be 
Yes I'm gonna do the same thing 
The same thing they been doing to me 


Now when I ask for some money 
To go out on the town 
I want you to hand it to me smilin' 
And don't you be no clown 
Now that might sound cold to ya baby 
You might think I'm unfair 
But I've been hurt so many times 
Till I, I really don't care 


I made up my mind baby 
If this is the way life has gotta be 
I'm gonna do the same thing 
The same thing they been doing to me
