Lyrics

You know I'm the wolf, baby, you know I stays in the woods
You know I'm the wolf, babe, you know I stays in the woods
Well, when you get in trouble, you call the wolf out the woods
Well, you want my money, well, you want me to spend it on you
Well, you want my money, baby, you want the wolf to spend it on you
Just as soon as you get my fortune
She said, "What in world I want with you?"
Well, I spend my money, trying to make you satisfied
Well, I have spent my money, darlin', tryin' to make you satisfied
Well, the woman who took my money and took my home and
Oh, the wolf gonna wreck her life
