Put That Woman First

Oooh...ooh...ooh...ooh... (Yeah)
If they gleam in the sun
while they spin and they fit on my truck then {I could remember}
And if it came in the sack
No stems no seeds in the bag girl {I could remember}

And if they drip from my wrist and they look like they shine like new then {I
could remember}
But Ohhh girl
I forgot to be your lover

If it wasnt for the 9 to 5
Double-up overtime then { I could remember}
If it wasnt for the Sunday all star
weekend games girl {I could remember}

And if it wasnt for the dough
Gettin fifty gs a show girl ya know that {I could remember}
But silly me, silly me
Ohhh
Tell me how could I ever forget to be your lover

Now I realize that you need love too (Oh, yeah)
Spend my life makin love to you
Oh, girl
Oh, I forgot to be your lover

When she starts bringin' up old dirt
And the fights keep getting worse (Oh, brother)
Findin' numbers in her purse
Better put that woman first (Yeah)

And you know she ain't wearin' her ring (Oh, no)
When she starts playin' little games
Comin' in late from work
You better put that woman first

If it wasnt for the make up on my shirt
Still Id be chasin skirts then {I could remember}
And if it wasnt for that fight last night
You smashin out my headlights then { I could remember}

If it wasnt for parole
Steady duckin my P O girl you know { I could remember}
But silly me, silly me, babe
Tell me how could I ever forget to beyour lover

Now I realize that you need love too
Spend my life makin love to you
Oh, girl
Oh, I forgot to be your lover

When she starts bringin' up old dirt (Bringin' up old

And the fights keep getting worse

Findin' numbers in her purse (I'm tellin' you,

Better put that woman first (You better put your woman

And you know she ain't wearin' her ring (Oh, yeah)
When she starts playin' little games (I'm-I'm-I'm-I'm

{Always came first} Even though sometimes fallin'
second
{Came down to love } You know I had to win the last race
{Spend some time} Put in some work
{And for better or worse} Always put that woman first

When she starts bringin' up old dirt
And the fights keep getting worse (Gettin' worse)
Findin' numbers in her purse (In her purse)
Better put that woman first (Put that woman first)

And you know she ain't wearin' her ring (Ooh, yeah)
When she starts playin' little games (Her little
