Well, I asks you, woman

Where did you stay last night?

You said, it was none a-my business

Just isn’t treatin’me right'

You got to step back

Back a little too, fast

You got to get back

I know you can’t last

You got to step back, baby

So I can get a long wit’you, now

(harmonica)

Now, an tell me, baby

What do you tryin’to do?

You tryin’to love me Some other man, too

You got to step back, woman

A little too, fast

I know you can’t last

You got to step back, woman

So I can get along wit’you, now

(harmonica)

Well, now look-a-here woman

I got somethin’that you can’t do You can’t love me An some other man, too

You got to step back, woman

A little too, fast

You got to get back

I know you can’t last

You got to tell me, baby

So I can get along wit’you, now

(harmonica)

Well now, look-a-here, baby

Ain’t gonna be your dog, no mo'

You try to fool me, baby

Like you did a long time ago

You got to step back, woman

A little too, fast

You got to get back

I know you can’t last

You got to step back, woman

So I can get along wit’you

(harmonica)

Now baby, ain’t but the one thing

Really give me the blues

When I ain’t got no bottom

On my last pair-a-shoes

You got to step back, woman

A little too, fast

You got to get back

I know you can’t last

Now you got to tell me, baby

So I can get along wit’you
