You Can Have My Husband (But Please Don’t Mess With My Man) Lyrics by Koko Taylor

The Earthshaker

1978

[Chorus]
You can have my husband, but please don't mess with my man
You can have my husband, but please don't mess with my man
I'm tellin' all you women, I want you all to understand
[Verse 1]
When my husband get paid, he feed me red beans and rice
My man feed me steaks, now, ain't that nice?
[Chorus]
You can have my husband, but please don't mess with my man
I'm tellin' all you women, I want you all to understand
[Verse 2]
Well, now, when I was with my husband, he treats me mean
But when I'm with my man, he treats me like a queen
[Chorus]
You can have my husband, but please don't mess with my man
I'm tellin' all you women, I want you all to understand
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
You can have my husband, but please don't mess with my man
You can have my husband, but please don't mess with my man
I'm tellin' all you women, I want you all to understand
[Verse 3]
Well, my man he's little, and he's shaped like a frog
But when starts lovin', I holler, "Ooh, hot dog!"
[Chorus]
You can have my husband, but please don't mess with my man
I'm tellin' all you women, I want you all to understand
[Outro]
You can have my husband, you can have my husband
You can have my husband, you can have my husband
You can have my husband, but please don't mess with my man
