If you get to feelin’ all alone
When your good time friends have all got up and gone
Don’t come knockin’ around my door
Because I’ve heard your lines before

And there ain’t gonna be a next time this time
‘Cause woman startin’ right now
I’m gonna forget you name and your pretty face, girl
And write you off as a bad mistake
You know that some women, they are lovers
And some just got no sense
But a woman like you oughta be ashamed
Of the things that you do to men

If you get to feeling all alone
When you find that you can’t make it on your own
Don’t come knockin’ around my door
You see I’ve seen your act before

If you get to feelin’ you were wrong
Don’t go wastin’ your good money on the phone
‘Cause I can hang up as fast as you can call
And that ain’t all

And there ain’t gonna be a next time this time
‘Cause woman startin’ right now
I’m gonna forget you name and your pretty face, girl
And write you off as a complete disgrace
You know that some women they are liars
And some just got no sense
But a woman like you oughta be ashamed
Of the things that you do to men

Yeah a woman like you oughta be ashamed
Of the things that you do to men
