I’ve never seen a woman like you
Always on the run.
I called and you weren’t there,
You never stay at home.
Baby, I know, that you’ve done me a-wrong.
Baby, I know, that your time is gonna come.
I say,
A-who’s been a-messin’
Around with you.
A-who’s been a-messin’
A-tell the truth.

Well I want to know his name
And what you plan to do.
Why can’t you see, and understand,
I only wanted you.
Baby, I know, there’s just nothing more to say.
Baby, I know, it’s just part of a game you play.

A-who’s been a-messin’ (Who’s been messin’)
Around with you.
A-who’s been a-messin’ (Who’s been messin’)
A-tell the truth.
Pretty Mama

I said, baby, I know, that you’ve done me a-wrong.
I said, baby, I know, that your time is gonna come.
I said, baby, I know, there’s just nothing more to say.
I said, baby, I know, it’s just part of a game you play.
C’mon now who’s been messin’
It’s got to be somebody
What’s wrong with you woman
Can’t you see I got you
Who’s messin’ with you baby,
Who
