Lyrics

Hmm, well I got a woman mean as she can be
Well, I got a woman mean as she can be
Some-a-times I think she's almost mean as me
She gotta ruby lips, she got shapely hips, yeah
Boy, she makes ole Roy-oy flip
I got a woman mean as she can be
Some-a-times I think she's almost mean as me
Well I ain't braggin', it's understood
Everything I do, well I sure do it good
Yeah, I got a woman, mean as she can be
Some-a-times I think she's almost mean as me
Well
[Instrumental]
She gotta ruby lips, she got shapely hips, yeah
Boy, she makes ole Roy-oy flip
I got a woman, mean as she can be
Some-a-times I think she's almost mean as me, easy now
Now let's go one time
Now, I got a woman (Sha-la-la-la)
Yeah, I got a woman (Sha-la-la-la)
Yeah, I got a woman (Sha-la-la-la)
Yeah, I got a woman (Sha-la-la-la)
Some-a-times I think she's almost mean as me (Sha-la-la-la)
