understand your man

don't call my name out your window

i'm leavin' i won't even turn my head

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

i'll be gone like i said

you'd say the same old things you been sayin' all along

lay there in your bed keep your mouth shot till i'm gone

don't give me that old familiar cryin'

cussin'

moan

understand your man

tidy your bad mouth and understand your man

you can give my other suits to the salvation army

and everything else i leave behind

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

while i'm untanglin' my mind

i ain't goin' to repare what i said anymore

while i'm breathing air that ain't been breathed before

i'll be as gone as a wild goose in winter

then you'll understand your man

better try to understand your man

look out

understand your man

uh huh

understand your man.
