Clarence Carter - What Was I Supposed To Do lyrics

I'm sorry if I embarra**ed you I let my jealousy show And that's something I said I wouldn't do But tell me how far Is a man supposed to go? When another man tries to steal your woman And even lets it show? He pulled on your hair And rubbed on your face And even had the nerve To ask the color of your lingerie [Chorus] Tell me what was I supposed to do When he disrespected me And he disrespected you? Creating a scene Is not my prescription For protecting my woman Against male intervention He bought you drinks And gave you invitations to his table He insisted on dancing with you When I said you weren't available Being nice to other men I really don't mind But I just couldn't stand to see him Rub on your behind [Chorus] If you say "It's over," Well, I can understand why But there's something I want to say Before you say "Goodbye." Letting my jealousy show Maybe wasn't a thing to do But I just can't help myself If I'm in love with you Respect for my woman Is one thing I demand And I won't stand no teasin' From no other man [Chorus] What was I supposed to do? What was I supposed to do? He disrespected me And he disrespected you You tell me What was I supposed to do? He pulled on your hair.... [fade]
