Now, I work all day and I cry all night Woman, you know you ain't treating me right You've got to do better. You've got to do better You've got to do better or let another mama come in Now, I give you everything I could beg or steal But can't come home and get a decent meal You've got to do better. You've got to do better You've got to do better or let another mama come in You come home every night drunk and out your head I even have to bathe you and put you to bed You've got to do better. You've got to do better You've got to do better or let another mama come in Now, my food ain't fitting and my house ain't clean You're the dirtiest old woman I've ever seen You've got to do better. You've got to do better You've got to do better or let another mama come in Now, the food you cook will make a hound-dog sick Woman, I'd like to call you an old no-good WELL You've got to do better. You've got to do better You've got to do better or let another mama come in
