Look-a-here, baby
Better start right
Better stop
All n'yo clownin' fight
You better take it easy, baby
Take it easy, baby
You better take it easy, baby
'Cause I don't like the way you do
You use my money
You left me cold in hand
Taken my money
Start to rainsin' caine
You better take it easy, baby
Take it easy, baby
You better take it easy, baby
'Cause I don't like the way you do
(harmonica & instrumental)
Look-a-here baby
You better start right
Went out last night
An ya stayed all night
You better take it easy, baby
Take it easy, baby
Ya better take it easy, baby
'Cause I don't like the way you do
Use my money
Buy you coal and wood
When it was over
Told me, 'Leavin', no good'
You better take it easy, baby
Take it easy, baby
Ya better take it easy, baby
'Cause I don't like the way you do
Love me babe
Why don't you tell me so?
Know you lovin' someone else
And you can go
You better take it easy, baby
Take it easy, baby
Ya better take it easy, baby
'Cause I don't like the way you do
'Yas, yas'
(harmonica & instrumental)
'Hey!'
'Better take it easy'
Sing this song
Ain't gonna sing no mo'
Better stop hangin'
Around my do'
You better take it easy, baby
Take it easy, baby
Ya better take it easy, baby
'Cause I don't like the way you do
(harmonica & instrumental boogie to end)
