Been told a long time ago

Oh, big conniver, ain't nothin' but a jiver
Done got hip to her jive

And I won't be your fool no more

Oh, Miss Melinda, she's a solid sender
That girl, she'd better surrender
Oh, Miss Melinda, she's a solid sender

I said you, oh, Miss Melinda, you ain't nothin' but a sender
Better, better to surrender girl
Oh, Miss Melinda, ain't nothin' but a sender
You know you better surrender

You be slippin' and a-slidin', peepin' and a-hidin'
