Don't Get Mad, Get Even

[Intro]

Mmmh

[Verse 1]

I'll tell you little secret

Make you want to jump and shout

When you talk to me in circles

Take your foot out of your mouth

It's hard enough to make it

When you're living on the street

And you want to tell somebody

But you got to be discreet - huh!

Then you catch your girlfriend

With her skirt hiked up to here

Honey, don't get mad, get even

[Chorus]

Don't get mad, get even, yeah

Don't get mad, get even, yeah

Don't get mad, get even

[Verse 2]

Say the times they be a-changin'

Though the blind lead the blind

And you know your head is empty

Though there's something on your mind

You been shacking up with Lucy and when the morning comes

You're with Sally in the alley

And the junkies and the bums

You wonder why your girlfriend

Has her skirt hiked up to here

Honey, don't get mad, get even

[Chorus]

Don't get mad, get even, oh yeah

Don't get mad, get even, yeah

(Come on over here)

('Til I can see the white o' your eyes, baby)

Don't get mad, get even

(Come on over here, motherfucker, I'm gon' kick ya ass)

(Wait 'til you see what I got store for you)

(Ah, ah, shit)

[Verse 3]

Roll the dice, get lucky

'Cause they roll ya for a dime

You got nothing else to lose

If ya only lose your mind

When pleasure that is shallow

Causes trouble to be deep

You've been dusted with the devil

While he sweeps you off your feet

Huh

[Pre-Chorus]

I'll tell you little secret

Make you want to jump and shout

When you talk to me in circles

Take your foot out of your mouth

It's hard enough to make it

When you're living on the street

And you hate to be a wise guy

When your feet are in concrete

Oh, sleeping with the dogs

And you wake up with the fleas

Honey, don't get mad, get even, yeah

[Chorus]

Don't get mad, get even, yeah

Don't get mad, get even, yeah

Don't get mad, get even

[Outro]

Uh, uh, uh, uh

Uh, uh, uh, uh

Uh

Uh

Uh, uh, uh, uh

Uh, uh, uh, uh

Uh

Uh

(Let's get out of here)
