Don’t Get Caught Lyrics by Mable John

Stax ’68 - A Memphis Story

0

Lipstick on your collar
Saying some woman bumped into you
I found an earring in your coat pocket
Does it belong to her too?
Your streak of luck can run so far
And then it's bound to come to a halt
Now you can tip, tip out if you wanna
But just don't get caught
That wasn't your twin in the phone booth
'Cause you're your mama's only son
And when the telephone ring one time last night
That wasn't some n***a just havin' fun
Now I'm not a play toy
'Cause toys can be bought
Now you can tip, tip out if you wanna
But just don't get caught
People can talk all they want to
But talk just don't bother me
It's not what you hear, but it's what you see
Oh, I'm not a play toy
'Cause toys can be bought
Now you can tip, tip out if you wanna
But just don't get caught
Oh, don't get caught baby
'Cause I'm, I'm warning you
And I can't tell you what I might do
I found lipstick on your collar
And an earring in your inside coat pocket
I saw you standing in the telephone booth
And you don't have a twin brother
So you can tip, tip, tip, but just don't get caught
