Well, I don′t want your string of pearls Your fancy bracelets I don't want your mansions now You know, they don′t give me no gain What I want is lovin' Come and give me all you can I'm tired of losin′ out ya know I′m gonna make my stand Don't you mess with a woman No, don′t you mess with a woman
Don't you mess with a woman And play your game It′s gonna bring you nothin' but pain
Now don′t you try to pass me off When your bleedin' stops When you're foolin′ ′round with me You know you would be the best (Now, look out) But your system brother, got your number now You're foolin′ 'round with somethin′ there That you don't know nothin′ about
Don't you mess with a woman No, don't you mess with a woman (Whoo, whoo) Don′t you mess with a woman And play your game It′s gonna bring you nothing but pain
Don't mess with a woman (No) Don′t mess with a woman (No, please) Don't mess with a woman (No) Don′t mess with a woman You know, You're like a little boy
Tryin′ to break my hope Ain't no way in this whole world Of catchin' me off guard You ask me why I′m laughin′, ha! I'll tell you if I can I′m a bigger fool than you For thinkin', you are the man
Don′t you mess with a woman (No) Don't you mess with a woman Don′t you mess with a woman And play your game It's gonna bring you nothin' but pain
(Don′t you mess with a woman) (Don′t you mess with a woman) (Don't you mess with a woman) Don′t mess with a woman (Don't you mess with a woman) (Don′t you mess with a woman) (Don't you mess with a woman) Don′t mess with a woman (Don't you mess with a woman) (Don't you mess with a woman) (Don′t you mess with a woman) Don′t mess with a woman (Don't mess with a woman) (Don′t mess with a woman) (Don't mess with a woman)
