Tell me while you're jivin'

While all my love is true

All my lovin' and a huggin', baby

It was meant for you



Get yourself together, yeah

Don't you tell no lie, ah, don't you lie

You've been burning both ends of the candle, baby

Gonna get you by and by



I see by your expression

Of shock and disbelief

You know I'm not mistaken, baby

So I'll just make it brief



Get yourself together, baby, yeah

Don't you lie to me, ah, ah, don't you lie to me

You've been running around and cheatin', baby

Gonna get you, wait and see



Hey baby, you may think I'm rappin'

And don't mean what I say

But if I have to leave you, baby

Just don't give no way



Get yourself together, girl

Don't you tell no lie, ah, don't you lie, yeah

You've been running around and cheatin', baby

Gonna get you by and by, ah, go get your bye bye, baby



You may think I'm rappin'

And don't mean what I say

But if I have to leave you, baby

You better not get in my way



Get yourself together, girl

Don't you tell no lie, ah, don't you lie

You've been running around and cheatin', baby

Gonna get you by and by, by, by, by



I'm goin' by, baby, I'm goin' by

Got my packed bag

And I'm leaving this house

Slammin' the door behind my back



I'm goin', leavin', quitin'

Ain't gonna come back no more

I'm catchin' that 9 o'clock train

And I'm sayin', bye bye, baby

Bye bye, bye baby, I'm gone
