Take care of the woman you've got, let your best friend's gal alone.
Take care of the woman you've got, let your best friend's gal alone.
‘Cause if you take his woman, somebody 's sure to wreck your home.

Brother, if you bite yourself be bitten, and that ain't no lie.
Brother, if you bite yourself be bitten, and that ain't no lie.
And if you don't stay away from your pal's gal, somebody 's got to die.

You got a woman who loves you, why don't you let that do?
She's fine looking and she loves you, why don't you let that do?
But you're not the type to be satisfied, you want something that don't belong to you.

Brother every clothes - I ain't sleeped - every good-bye is gone.
Every clothes - I ain't sleeped - every good-bye is gone.
But when you dead you stay dead, God bless the man that has his own.
