Dirty Tricks Lyrics by The Sweet Inspirations

The Complete Stax / Volt Soul Singles, Vol. 3: 1972-1975

0

[Verse 1]
I'm sick and tired of your dirty tricks
Whoo, oh, you make me so mad I could kill a brick!
(Been runnin' around you better stop it quick)
This is the last time you get away
(You can't run, you can't hide, you won't get away)
Ooh, with cheating me just in your way
(Quit it! You better quit it!)
I'm sick and tired of your dirty tricks
(Tricky, tricky, dirty tricks)
And embarrassing me and you better quit
(Quit it! You better quit it!)
You know that note that you gave to the babysitter
(Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo)
You thought that note was gonna help you get her, mmm
You tried that jive-time stuff before (Ha ha ha ha)
Now you make me say this song (You think you're slick)
Now all my friends know you're no good (Ha ha ha ha)
It's gotten out all over this neighborhood (You make me sick)
You love every woman, don't you see
You know I have to find a love that's just for me
Whoah-oh!
You've been ballin' all over this town!
[Verse 2]
Mmm, I sent you to borrow a cup of flour, yeah
Miss Lena said you stayed three hours
Now you can't explain what you were doing
(Don't want no lies, yeah tell me more)
Your dirty tricks are gonna be your ruin
(Tell me the truth, I can't take no more)
You got everybody feelin' sorry for me
But I don't need no sympathy
But if you can't stop your dirty ways
I'm gonna shorten up your days
You want every skirt in this town
I'm gonna have to put you down
Whoah-oh!
You've been ballin' all over this town!
[Outro]
Whoah-oh!
Whoah-oh!
You've been ballin' all over this town!
I'm sick and tired of your dirty tricks
(Dirt-dirt-dirt-dirt-dirt)
Sick and tired of your dirty tricks
(You've been ballin'!)
Dirty!
Dirty tricks
(Dirt-dirt-dirt-dirt-dirt)
Dirty, dirty, dirty
(You've been ballin'!)
Dirty tricks
Oh, I'm sick and tired of your dirty tricks
