Betty Wright - Outside Woman lyrics

[Verse 1] Seems like being true to the man you marry Ain't enough anymore You got to learn to do something special To keep him from walking out the door And staying home being a lady It no longer makes him respect yah You got to learn the tricks of the street Or else he's gonna neglect yah [Chorus] You got to start acting like a ball of fire Instead of a block of ice Ya gotta love him like you're his outside woman If you want him to treat you like a wife [Verse 2] And being a a do-right woman all the time No longer makes the grade No longer makes him come straight home Whenever he gets paid And staying at home 7 days a week Will make him too sure of himself And then he'll think he doesn't have to worry So he'll go and find somebody else [Chorus] [Bridge] If you're smart you'll take my advice Believe me I know For my man I was the perfect lady And now I don't have him anymore [Chorus]
