A man is innocent Until he's proven guilty A man is innocent Until you make him lie Well, you can cry little lady But I never put no one before you And you can hurt if you wanna But don't let it get in your way, baby Let people talk But please don't believe what they say, girl Please don't believe 'em 'Cause a man is innocent Until he's proven guilty When people lie to your face Well, I guess it's just a jealousy Oh, can't you see it must be That he lied about your lover Who says he's not an open cover It's just a stab in the back 'Cause it just can't be a fact about me It can't be, no, no Just can't be now Well there ain't nothing in the world Like a woman's scorn and fury Sometimes you can't change her mind 'Cause she's her own juge and jury Let people talk But please don't believe what they say, girl Please don't believe 'em 'Cause a man is innocent Until he's proven guilty A man is innocent Until he's proven guilty It can't be, it can't be, no A man is innocent Until he's proven guilty
