I don't know why you women
Treat these men so mean
They like to think in this world
We men haven't never seen
Now if we go in the morning and you stay out all night
When you come back home, you ready to fight
Now it t'ain't no use lookin' sad, that ain't going to make me mad
But this is what you're going to do
You going to weep, weep for me
Sweet baby, and I'll be gone
You going to weep, weep for me
Sweet mama, don't you know you done me wrong
Now you tell the people I've really mistreated you
Now you know, woman, I've done everything you told me to do
Now it t'ain't no use lookin' sad, that ain't going to make me mad
But this is what you going to do
You going to weep, weep for me
Sweet baby and I'll be gone
You going to weep, weep for me
Sweet baby, and I'll be gone
You going to weep, weep for me
Sweet mama, don't you know you done me wrong
Now look what you done, day before yesterday
You taken all my money, went out and throwed it all away
Then you come back home lookin' sad, you thought that was going to make me mad
But this is what you going to do
You going to weep, weep for me
Sweet baby and I'll be gone, I mean
Baby, I'll be gone
