Put That Woman First

Oooh...ooh...ooh...ooh... (Yeah)
If they gleam in the sun
while they spin and they fit on my truck then I could remember
And if it came in the sack
No stems no seeds in the bag then I could remember

And if they drip from my wrist and they look like they shine like new then I
could remember
But Ohhh girl
I forgot to be your lover

If it wasn't for the 9 to 5
Double-up overtime then I could remember
If it wasn't for the Sunday all star
weekend games girl I could remember

And if it wasn't for the dough
Gettin fifty g's a show girl ya know that I could remember
But silly me, silly me
Ohhh
Tell me how could I ever forget to be your lover

Now I realize that you need love too (Oh, yeah)
Spend my life makin' up to you
Oh, girl
Oh, I forgot to be your lover

When she starts bringin up old dirt
And the fights keep getting worse (Oh, brother)
Findin numbers in her purse
Better put that woman first (Yeah)

And you notice she aint wearin her ring (Oh, no)
When she starts playin little games
Comin in late from work
You better put that woman first

If it wasn't for the make up on my shirt
Still out there chasin' skirts then I could remember
And if it wasn't for that fight last night
You smashin out my headlights then I could remember

If it wasn't for parole
Steady duckin' my P O girl you know I could remember
But silly me, silly me, babe
Tell me how could I ever forget to be your lover

Now I realize that you need love too
Spend my life makin' up to you
Oh, girl
Oh, I forgot to be your lover

When she starts bringin up old dirt (Bringin up old
shhhh)
And the fights keep getting worse
(Oh...oh...oh...oh...)
Findin numbers in her purse (Im tellin you,
brother)
Better put that woman first (You better put your woman
first

And you notice she aint wearin her ring (Oh, yeah)
When she starts playin little games (Im-Im-Im-Im
tellin you, brother)
Comin in late from work
You better put that woman first (Put that woman first)

So many times Actin like it wasn't really nothin'
So many ways Kept to myself, always runnin
So many games All that I sin
So many words I need you to stay
Always came first Even though sometimes fallin
second
Came down to love You know I had to win the last race
Spend some time Put in some work
And for better or worse Always put that woman first

When she starts bringin up old dirt
And the fights keep getting worse (Gettin worse)
Findin numbers in her purse (In her purse)
Better put that woman first (Put that woman first)

And you notice she aint wearin her ring (Ooh, yeah)
When she starts playin little games (Her little
games)
Comin in late from work (Imma say it again)
You better put that woman first (Put that woman, put that woman first)

When she starts bringin up old dirt
And the fights keep getting worse (Shes gonna leave

Findin numbers in her purse
Better put that woman first (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

And you notice she aint wearin her ring (Yeah, yeah,

When she starts playin little games (Yeah, yeah)
Comin in late from work
You better put that woman first
