Women Be Wise

[Piano Blues Intro]

[Verse 1]

Women be wise, keep your mouth shut

Don't advertise your man

Don't sit around gossiping

Explaining what your good man really can do

Some women nowadays

Lord, they ain't no good

They will laugh in your face

Then try to steal your man from you

Women be wise, keep your mouth shut

Don't advertise your man

[Verse 2]

Your best girlfriend, she might be a highbrow

She changes clothes three times a day

What do you think she's doing now

While you're so far away?

She's loving your man

In your own damn bed

You better call for the doctor, mama

Try to investigate your head

Now, women be wise, keep your mouth shut

Don't advertise your man

[Blues Instrumental]

[Verse 3]

Women be wise, keep your mouth shut

Don't advertise your man

Don't sit around, girl

Telling all your secrets

Telling all those good things he really can do

If you talk about your baby

You tell me he's so fine, Lord, honey!

I just might sneak up and try to make him mine

Women be wise, keep your mouth shut

Don't advertise your man

[Outro]

Don't be no fool

Don't advertise your man! (baby don't do it)
