Understand Your Man

Don't call my name out your window as I'm leavin'

'Cause I won't even turn my head

And don't send your kinfolks to give me no damn talkin'

'Cause I'll be gone, like I said

You'd say the same old thing that you've been sayin' all along

So just lay there in your bed and keep your mouth shut till I'm gone

No, don't give me that old familiar cry and cuss and moan

Understand your man

Oh, understand your man

Huh

Oh, spank it, boy

You can give my other suit to the Salvation Army

And everything else I leave behind

I ain't takin' nothin' that'll slow down my travelin'

While I untangle my mind

No, I ain't gonna repeat what I said anymore

While I'm breathin' air that ain't been breathed before

Yeah, I'll be as gone as a wild goose in the winter

Then you'll understand your man

Go on, meditate on it

And you'll understand your man

'You hear me talkin', honey?

Understand your man

Remember what I told you

Understand your man

Huh

Oh, huh

Understand your man

Understand your man

Understand your man

Understand your man

Understand your man
