Laid Back

0

[Verse 1]
You been cheating on me now
You know I know it's true
There ain't nobody in the whole wide world
Gonna love you like I do
[Chorus]
Don't you be no fool (don't you be no fool)
Don't you be no fool (don't you be no fool)
You gonna keep on fooling around now baby
You gonna mess up a good thing
Whoa
[Verse 2]
Well I might have cheated a little bit baby
Nobody knows like you
When I get my pay check darling
I rush it on home to you
[Chorus]
Don't be a fool (don't you be no fool)
Don't be a fool no (don't you be no fool)
You gonna keep on a-messing around now baby
Gonna mess up a good thing
Oh
[Bridge]
(Good thing) Oh baby
(Good thing) What you say yeah
(Good thing) Oh darling
(Good thing) Ah
[Verse 3]
They tell me that you got a part-time lover
Living away across town
It won't be more than a little while baby
You'll be putting me down
[Chorus]
Don't you be no fool (don't you be no fool)
Don't you be no fool (don't you be no fool)
You gonna keep on jiving around now baby
Gonna mess up a good thing
Oh, better listen to what I say now baby
[Piano solo]
[Verse 4]
Don't you come sneaking across town baby
Sure catch you doing me wrong
You know, and I know, and all our friends know
We've got a good thing going
[Chorus]
Don't you be no fool (don't you be no fool)
Don't you be no fool (don't you be no fool)
You gonna keep on jiving around now baby
Gonna mess up a good thing
Oh
[Outro]
(Good thing) Oh baby
(Good thing) What you say
(Good thing) Yeah darling
(Good thing) What you say
Ah don't fool around
Mess up the best damn thing we ever had
Yeah, woo-ooh
No no no
